Cease protests that inconvenience others

Lately, Kenya has literally turned into a nation of demonstrations. You find doctors demonstrating today, nurses tomorrow, matatu drivers the day after that and university students issuing a notice to strike.

As much as demonstrations are provided for in the Constitution, protesters should air their grievances in a manner that does not inconvenience other citizens.

It is unfair of demonstrators to block motorists and even go to the extent of forcing them to drive behind them until they reach wherever they are going.

Such was the case yesterday when some medical interns took to the streets, completely paralysing transport near Kenyatta National Hospital.

Law enforcers should ensure that demonstrations do not interfere with other people's activities. Demonstrators should also do so in a responsible and civilised manner.
