Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya coalition leaders began their anti-government protests on Thursday, March 30, with a stopover in Embakasi South.
Led by opposition chief Raila Odinga, the leaders addressed a roadside crowd in Imara Daima a few minutes past 2:00 pm ahead of a series of activities in Embakasi South and Embakasi East constituencies.
Raila maintained that the opposition rallies pushing for economic and electoral reforms would continue in various parts of the country despite a tough stance from security bosses.
Some of the leaders accompanying Raila are Martha Karua (Narc Kenya), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), George Wajackoyah (Roots party) and Eugine Wamalwa (DAP-K).
Thursday marked the third edition of the anti-government protests following Monday’s and last week’s.
Similar to the previous protests, there was minimal activity in Nairobi’s Central Business District, but Thursday was significantly scaled down in terms of exchange between the police and protesters.
However, a section of Mathare area saw police lob teargas at protesters in the midmorning hours.
