NASA asks for police protection for 4 days Demonstrations.

National Supper Alliance (NASA) has written to Nairobi county commander Japhet Koome asking for police protection during their planned four-day demonstrations within the city. Through lawyer Edwin Sifuna, the Opposition said on Monday it will hold demonstrations from Tuesday through to Friday "to push for electoral justice and an end to electoral impunity in Kenya".


NASA leader Raila Odinga earlier said they would only hold mega protests on Thursday during the repeat election. "You are hereby notified of the same and requested to provide security during the said processions/demonstrations to ensure criminal elements do not take advantage to harm protesters, the public or property," Sifuna said.

The use of a law firm to notify the police of the protests is a shift from routine by NASA whose CEO Norman Magaya would normally write such letters.Acting Interior CS Fred Matiang'i recently said Magaya would be held personally responsible for all criminal acts that were committed during the recent demonstrations.
