Supporters of @edwinsifuna & @HEBabuOwino must know these leaders can never be enemies. The System cherishes their supporters’ disunity as an avenue to ‘tribalize’ GENZ-OTE’s #LindaMwananchi. We play the tribal card & we lose the youth. The Movement is bigger than #SifunaBabu.
BREAKING: Nairobi Regional Police Commander Issa Mohamud says the CBD is off-limits to political rallies ahead of the Linda Mwananchi rally.
Under what legal authority? Article 37 protects peaceful assembly. What law gives police power to impose a blanket ban?
To the Linda Mwananchi Patriots and anyone going about their business tomorrow in Nairobi, the CBD is OPEN !
There is no law giving the Nairobi Police Commander unrestricted power to simply declare the entire Nairobi CBD to be “out of bounds” because of a political rally or unspecified “planned disruptions.”
We went to the High Court in 2025 for this reason and it was held that a blanket restriction of assembly in the Nairobi CBD is invalid and unconstitutional. The court insisted that such a blanket restriction must have a clear legal basis and satisfy the constitutional proportionality test under Article 24.
What the police should focus on is providing security to our patriots ama tujilinde kama Linda Mwananchi.
For 16 years, we were told we needed a tribal kingpin at the bargaining table to get development.
The 2010 Constitution guarantees our rights, security, and resources by law,regardless of community size.
@edwinsifuna gets it right, constitutionalism is the ultimate equalizer
