Don't pass the anti-terror law, Eliud Owalo tells President Uhuru Kenyatta

Kenya: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's Campaign Secretariat manager, Eliud Owalo has singled out some provisions in the proposed anti-terror law as retrogressive and aimed at reverting the country to an autocratic state.

Owalo said that the provision that gives powers of appointment of the Inspector General of Police to the President and that which enables the Police to hold suspects in custody for up to one year as untenable.
