Why NASA has 'Renamed' Uhuru Park to 'Raila Odinga Grounds'

Leaders allied to opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) say that they have ‘renamed’ Nairobi’s Uhuru Park grounds to “Raila Odinga grounds”.

Led by Siaya Senator James Orengo, the leaders on Wednesday said that they were dissatisfied with the name of the historical grounds and had decided to re-branded its name so it would match with their weekly anti-IEBC demonstrations.

Senator Orengo said that since they are using the facility hold their reform movement against IEBC, it was important to drop President Kenyatta’s first name from ground’s name.

“Everywhere we go, Uhuru is being mentioned. So, from today as well as during our demonstrations, this park will be known as Raila Odinga park. And so on Friday, we will meet at Raila Odinga park,” Orengo was quoted by the Nation.

Other leaders present during the ‘declaration’ were Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama among others.

Orengo further announced that Nasa will hold the demos on a daily basis starting Monday next week.

“From Monday they need to know the protests will be daily all over the country. We are not here to joke. If there are no reforms, there will be no elections,” he said.

    So let me get this straight. Orengo insist there will be no election unless he gets his way. All of us are supposed to say, whatever you say sir. What world are we living on? Please wake me up from this nightmare. It seems like some of us are in a totally different twilight zone. Wake up good people.Kenya is much bigger than a couple of old fools. The government needs to take steps and ensure safety for all law abiding citizens. Enforce all laws immediately especially against incitement and rioting.

    When those aggrieved by the so called demonstrations which are more like mass looting and destruction of property, start counting their losses and move to court, this will no longer be funny. And since you have planted judges everywhere in the judiciary, just know it will only take one or two judges with balls to teach you a lesson.
