According to Nairobi senator Edwin Sifuna, the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition party will no longer notify the police before its twice-weekly Protests.


The opposition party has been demonstrating against the inability of President William Ruto's administration to reduce living costs and favoritism in State jobs, among other things, on Mondays and Thursdays.




However, whereas the Inspector General of Police, Japhet Koome, had previously instructed the Raila Odinga-led faction to provide notices ahead of the planned demonstrations, the coalition has stated that it will no longer serve them due to ineffectiveness.


Sifuna claimed that instead of providing demonstrators with security, police used violence to disrupt the demonstrations.


Sifuna informed citizen TV that instead of issuing notices, they will exercise their rights under Article 37. He also said that because people are aware that police alerts are invitations to use force against them, protests will emerge spontaneously anywhere, at any time.


He asserts that notice of the protests has been delivered to each and every police station in Nairobi. Which is to ask them to provide security and safeguard the demonstrators. The senator claimed that despite our best efforts to follow the law, they would nonetheless unconstitutionally label our protests as unlawful.


The police, according to Sifuna, were to blame for the recent demonstrations' violence and property damage, and the orderly forces had to leave the streets if demonstrators were to remain peaceful.



After Kithure Kindiki, the interior cabinet secretary issued a warning that violent protests would not be tolerated in Kenya, he commented shortly after. Sifuna predicted that the Azimio protests would be calm if the police were removed.
