The Kisumu Gov’ Anyang Nyong’o has gone back of his earlier statement that there will be no demonstration in Kisumu county.
In his morning press release, the Kisumu county boss has said the demonstration will only be done in Nairobi.
However, Nyong’o has clarified saying there will be demonstration in Kisumu county.
“We believe in the rights of Kenyans to peacefully assemble, petition, and demonstrate against the government.”
These expressive and speech rights, according to Nyong’o, are ironclad as enshrined in our constitution.
“We in Azimio fought for these basic freedoms. We are encouraged by the resolve of our people to continue with the demonstrations. We have therefore been urged by our people to continue with peaceful demonstrations tomorrow and we shall do so.” Nyong’o said.
He added: We know goons have been hired by our opponents to cause chaos and loot property. Our people must not provide the goons and criminals the opportunity to do so. We therefore urge you to turn out in large numbers and join other Kenyans in this liberation struggle. We equally call upon the police to ensure peace and security in Kisumu.”
