Matiang’i’s order on NASA demos defies Constitution

CS Fred Matiang'i

Acting Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has outlawed demonstrations within the Central Business Districts (CBDs) of Kenya’s three cities; Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.

This decision is, no doubt, informed by what transpired in Kisumu and Nairobi over the past few weeks when chaotic scenes erupted after Opposition followers took to the streets to demand the removal of some officials of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for their alleged role in the irregularities that led to the nullification of the August 8 presidential poll results.
