The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Japhet Koome on Sunday 26th March banned the planned countrywide protests by the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition.
He was addressing the media at the National Police Service Headquarters, where he urged Kenyans to go on freely with their lawful businesses tomorrow Monday.
“The demonstrations still remain illegal. The police will deal with anyone found with weapons to cause chaos tomorrow. Political issues should be handled through the appropriate political channels.

The IG who also called upon Officers to carry on with their work, without fear or intimidation from any person (s), further assured Kenyans that the Country is safe, and that Police remain steadfast in their duty to serve and protect the Nation.
