This is after Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang Nyong’o banned all demonstrations in his county.
Speaking to the press early today, Prof Nyong’o stated that he had arrived at the decision after criminal elements took advantage of the demos to destroy and loot property.
Nyong’o said that all demos henceforth will be held in Nairobi as directed by the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga.
[I]“Raila Odinga has made it very clear that demonstrations will only be held in Nairobi after meeting NASA governors and I was there,” “Who are these people taking decisions without the party –ODM – directing them yet we have party leadership led by myself in this county?
“Somebody decides they’re going to block roads, take money from women and rob our visitors. These are criminal acts!” said Nyong’o
He warned that perpetrators who will violate his directive will be held liable to the criminal acts they engage in.
“Demonstrations must be peaceful and not violence and therefore we’ve told the police to deal with anybody putting stones on the road. Anybody molesting a dweller residing in Kisumu will be treated as a criminal,” the Governor reiterated
So in nairobi its ok for their hooligans to loot, burn and rape but not in their home counties? And by asking police to deal with the thugs, does he expect the police to sing them lullabies to calm them or he just want to print some more LLM tshirts for the ‘ice cream buyers’?
Is he saying that they are allowed to destroy property in Nairobi but not Kisumu. Sonko kazi kwako, ban them in Nairobi too. I hope the precedence is binding and not orbiter dictum.
Sonko aliban kitambo but it cant work nairobi residents are 80% NASA the only jubichieth voters ni zile ngombe za kiambu hukuja kuregister nairobi for elections
