Also news comes at a time when Nairobi police chief Seda assured protestors that security will be beefed up to ensure safty of everyone.
“We have the plan and we shall be there to provide enough and good security to ensure every person who is going to participate and those not going to participate will be safe, for that matter.
As for June 25th, we have enhanced plans. We equally have a copy of the letter which was delivered to Central.
Let’s restrict ourselves to what we call peaceful demonstrations. Let’s not have demonstrations which are going to interfere with other people who may not be part of the demonstrators.
Remember, it will be a working day and we shall be having people operating hotels, shops and other businesses. We are looking uncivilized when we start converging, and then as we continue, it turns violent and beats the logic of conducting it, which makes the situation worse” he said
