The former Prime Minister expressed his dissatisfaction with the police for assembling many personnel and equipment to confront peaceful protestors.
“We remain horrified by the response by the police at a time when the country is going through major security challenges. We were shocked that police could assemble so many personnel and so much equipment to combat peaceful protestors,” said Raila.
The opposition chief called out the police officers for using excessive force on Azimio protestors.
“That brutality witnessed yesterday does not belong in this country. It's more disgusting because the citizens were acting within the provisions of the constitution and had given notice in the intention to march in Nairobi. Its impunity at its worst. We were determined to confront it as they saw yesterday,” he added.
