National Super Alliance supporters on Friday defied a ban by acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and flocked the streets of Kenya’s main cities.
The government on Friday said it had banned anti-IEBC protests by the opposition within Central Business Districts in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.
In Kisumu, protesters blocked key roads leading into the lakeside city and lit bonfires as they chanted anti-IEBC slogans.
In Mombasa, Police fired teargas at a crowd attempting to enter the coastal city’s CBD and scattered then away.
In Nairobi, demonstrators led by Siaya Senator James Orengo were tear-gassed by police officers in as they tried to forcefully make their way into the Central Business.
Orengo, flanked by other opposition MPs had earlier addressed a media at ODM offices in Capitol Hill and vowed to defy the government’s ban on demonstrations in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu CBDs.
“We want to condemn Mr. Matiang’i for claiming that we cannot enjoy our rights to picket and demonstrate. It is the responsibility of the police to provide security during demonstrations held within the law,” said Orengo.
“From here, we’ll be headed to the CBD for anti-IEBC demos, we have notified the police about these demonstrations,” a defiant Orengo added.
Demonstrators are still engaging in running battles with police as they try to sneak their way into IEBC headquarters at the anniversary towers along University way.
NASA is full of political…
NASA is full of political hooligans who are losers, looters, and daylight thieves. Police need to shoot those destroying lives and property. The constitution does not allow interference with innocent citizens and destruction of property. Bottom line is that those committing crimes in the name of NASA must pay the price.
NASA and Raila are…
NASA and Raila are gathering thieves, all sorts of criminals, lads, losers, hooligans and idlers by enticing them with sodas and bread to go loot businesses. This is meant to create anarchy in the country. As I have stated before, the aim of Raila is to make Kenya ungovernable through this street demonstrations. He is aiming for a revolution through it. The government has to realize this man is a hardcore communist that has always believed in communism. He was educated as a revolutionist by former communist East Germany and Soviet Union. No wonder he had named his elder son the late Fidel Castro after the late Cuban President Fidel Castro. In 1982 he attempted to overthrow the Kenya government in collaboration with some junior officers at Kenya Airway. The Maraga case is also another coup attempt. The point here is that Raila ultimate goal is take over the government of Kenya by whichever means he can. The government has machinery to stop him before he sheds yet another blood in the country.
Please shot those terrorists…
Please shot those terrorists looting destroying properties. NASA has become a terrorist organization.
