Nairobi, Kenya: Police lobbed teargas to disperse CORD leaders and supporters who for the third time had camped outside Anniversary Towers. KANU led by Nick Salat also joined the anti-IEBC protestors.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has cited failure by relevant Government institutions to act on grievances against the electoral commission as one of the reasons they resorted to public protests.
Raila cited Jubilee’s control of the National Assembly, which dismissed a petition against the polls’ chiefs, and the failure by the anti-corruption agency to charge electoral commissioners over the Chickengate scandal, to justify Opposition protests to kick out Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners.
