Adequate plans in place to contain Raila protest in Nairobi: Gachagua

He assured Kenyans, particularly those who will be around Nairobi’s Central Business District, that security agencies will be on high alert to counter any acts of lawlessness from protesters.Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka had affirmed that all protests by the Opposition outfit to denounce government excesses and non-delivery of campaign promises will not involve acts of lawlessness “I want to issue an edict in accordance with Article 37, what we are doing today, what we shall do in the future as we go for the countdown, will be guided by our absolute adherence to Constitution 2010 and in particular Article 37, that we will do peaceful demonstrations,” he said.Speaking at Kianyaga Boys High School Alumni Day where he pursued his secondary education, Gachagua said the government would firmly follow the law to ensure no one breaks it under the guise of the right to protest.This time round it cannot work,” Gachagua said.

The Opposition has since written to the police in Nairobi to notify them of Monday’s mass action.“We notify you that on Monday, March 20, 2023, we will be holding a procession within the Nairobi metropolitan area,” the letter read in part.
