Chama Cha Mwananchi (CCM) party leader and former Subukia MP Koigi wa Wamwere says a lot has changed since the July 7, 1990 Saba Saba protest that saw the arrest of Opposition leaders led by Kenneth Matiba and Raila Odinga.

"Today, no one would be arrested for organising or attending a public rally or a protest march in Kamukunji grounds or the streets of Nairobi. Things have tremendously changed," he says.
