Azimio has blamed the deadly stampede at Kericho Green Stadium on corruption and failed leadership by President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, demanding that heads roll. But UDA secretary general Cleophas Malala had on Saturday released a statement expressing (the party's) sympathy for lives lost following a stampede in Kericho. "Several people who wanted to gain entry to the stadium were injured and rushed to Kericho County Referral Hospital. On the material day, the national security apparatus failed dramatically. Crowd control failed, leading to stampede and deaths,” Azimio said.
