Matiang'i Alleges Plot by NASA to Create Anarchy in the Country

Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has warned the opposition that the government will not tolerate violence and chaos being witnessed in NASA's anti-IEBC protests.

Matiang'i alleges that their is a plot by National Super Alliance leaders to cause anarchy by using the demos in major towns across the country to cause mayhem.

"They can't do this and expect the government sit back and watch," he warned.

"There is absolutely nothing peaceful in attacking a police station. There is nothing holy in looting businesses. This is thuggery and we shall act accordingly," Dr Matiang’i said at Ibacho SDA Church in Nyaribari Chache, Kisii County, on Saturday.

He said that, while Nasa and their supporters have the right to protest, looting and destruction of property witnessed during the event was unacceptable.

"These policemen you are seeing here are our brothers and sisters. What does one gain by provoking them? There is no reason why one would want to attack them in the disguise of causing havoc," the Education CS said.

He said that Nasa had an ulterior motive in the name of electoral reforms.

He assured that National examinations will be administered as scheduled, despite political uncertainty in the country.

"We want to assure parents and stakeholders that there will be no change in the examination schedule," he said.

"They want to make the country to slide into chaos and have someone to come and do mediation, which we don't know for what."
