Few Kenyans braved the chilly Nairobi weather to turn up at Uhuru Park for Labour Day celebrations on Sunday.
Most city dwellers engaged in their usual bustle and hustle as the day unfolded.
Unlike previous years when workers would throng Uhuru Park and other major towns across the country to celebrate the day, many, especially in Nairobi, were lax to join in celebration.
As the day globally recognized rolled over however, Coalition for Reforms and Democracy leader Raila Odinga had a special message to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He reminded the President the country through his leadership was moving towards a wrong path.
"Labour Day is set aside to honour the Kenyan labour movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our nation," Raila said through his official Facebook account.
The reminder came six days after he led a group of Cord leaders and supporters in storming the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission offices in Nairobi demanding its commissioners resign.
"Our collective aspirations as a people are determined by the government in place," he said.
"It is therefore important that the choice of that government reflects the true will of the people. It is for this reason that the IEBC must be reformed. The Kenyan dream of prosperity, peace and liberty can only be achieved through the free will of the people."
Raila has maintained IEBC as currently composed cannot conduct a free and fair election.
He suspended on Thursday protests against the electoral body to allow Cord supporters join other Kenyans in mourning former first lady Lucy Kibaki.
A statement from his spokesperson Denis Onyango said protests will kick off on May 9 again.
