"It’s clear that the people spoke with one voice, a voice that could not be ignored. Kenyans, therefore, have a right to oppose the government if they disagree with the decisions being made on their behalf." Pastor Peter Nyagah of Nairobi Central SDA Church commended the government for listening to the people's cries. Bishop Simon Lugonzo of Blessed Assembly Church in Kisii urged caution, saying it was too early for Kenyans to celebrate. "We appreciate that they reconsidered some of these punitive taxes; however, Kenyans must stay vigilant lest other measures are reintroduced silently," said Bishop Lugonzo.
