Azimio la Umoja coalition has announced that it will resume its anti-government protests on Thursday.
This after their protests in Nairobi were largely thwarted by heavy deployment of anti-riot police officers on Tuesday.
Addressing the press at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation, Upperhill, Nairobi, Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua said the protests will be based on the same petition that the Opposition has against the government.
“We are marching on. Tomorrow we are taking a break to recharge, re-strategize and re-energize. Our protest shall resume on Thursday, May 4. Same Petition,” Karua said.
Martha Karua claimed that the government had ordered the immediate withdrawal of security details of the party leaders as well as those of other elected leaders in Azimio.
“Last night Azimio Leaders including Our Leader and Kalonzo Musyoka had their Security Withdrawn. This is significant because two offices are guaranteed security,” Karua said.
The Azimio leaders led by Raila Odinga, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Karua did not, however, join the procession on Tuesday.
The procession snaked through Kawangware-James Gichuru-Waiyaki Way before exiting towards Muthaiga area and retreating.
