Raila announces the venue for Monday’s mass action urging supporters to come out in large numbers.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Sunday, March 19, maintained that the anti-government mass action will go on as planned.
In his press update, Raila called on Kenyans to attend the much-hyped March 20 mass action confirming that protesters will be meeting at Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).
According to Raila, all protesters will be accorded every right enshrined in the Constitution, and no one should be afraid of attending the mass action.
“I’m calling on all Kenyans of goodwill to wake up very early in the morning and gather at the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD),” Raila declared.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader warned the police against trying to deny protesters their rights.
Raila was responding to the National Police Service that declared the Azimio La Umoja’s protest as illegal since the notification was submitted late.
“The mass action is your right, and there is no one who should by any means take that right from you,” Raila noted.
In a statement read by the Nairobi Regional Commander Adamson Bungei, the National Police Service (NPS) stated that Azimio La Umoja failed to meet the requirements of the Public Order Act.

Azimio writes to the police over Monday’s mass demonstration
“We received two requests from Azimio and Nairobi business community to hold protests tomorrow. One late in the evening and the other this morning.
“Both did not meet the legal threshold and were thus declined and the same was communicated to them in writing,” Bungei explained.
However, the police also noted that those who take part in the mass action should do so without infringing on other people’s rights.
He warned that appropriate measures will be taken against anyone who tries to break into any shop, noting that the police will protect all Kenyans and their property.
