NASA Cancels Friday's Street Demonstrations
The opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) has called off its anti-Uhuru demonstrations that had been scheduled for Friday in Nairobi.
Siaya Senator James Orengo said the protests were postponed due to the motion seeking to form the People's Assembly, which is currently being debated in various county assemblies.
“This is to enable the coalition’s leaders and supporters concentrate on and support the initiative that is intended to have the people exercise their sovereignty directly and chart their future through a people’s assembly,” Orengo said in the statement.
NASA had on Wednesday written to Nairobi County Police Commander Japheth Koome asking for police protection to the demonstrators. “You are hereby notified of the same and requested to provide security during the said procession/ demonstration to ensure criminal elements do not take advantage to harm protesters, the public or any property,” read part of a letter by lawyer Edwin Sifuna on behalf of NASA. “Your cooperation towards making the peaceful demonstration a success, in line with your responsibilities under the law, will be highly appreciated,” it adds.
Orengo said the coalition will announce new dates for the demos later on.

Orengo, you are developing cold feet now. You should have suspended the Peoples Assembly motion instead of the demonstrations. We were ready and waiting for you with tear gas.

After all the hype fake Joshua meet with Gregory Simpkins a Staff Director for the U.S. House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights. He did not meet with even one congressman. What a shame na vile he told his supporters he is coming to address the congress. That is why they are canceling their demos because of shame.

So he met with the help :-) lol. Congressmen are there to help their constituencies and had I seen Chris Van Hollen entertaining a rebel, I would never vote for him ever again

The average lifespan of nasa-nrm plans is 1 week. After one week, only the media can remember what the "big declaration" was. Like in the "rat race rebellion" the ratio of sham to legitimate is 42 to 1. Like peddlers of utopia, they assume nasarites have no daily lives other than serving their leaders' whims. Figuratively speaking, when village councils takes over from MCAs; headmen take over from mps, tribal kings take over from senators/governors; totem gods take over the common law, we will be living out the 17 century, in 21st century- What a social-political experiment!

Trashing and vandalizing our cities by Raila's hooligans under the guise of peaceful demos is not acceptable and it has to stop... Raila withdrew from elections on his own will without being forced to, elections took place, Uhury won and raila needs to MOVE ON!
