Govt: Gachagua Kamukunji rally must get police clearance

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will only be allowed to hold his planned meeting at the Kamukunji grounds tomorrow if he or his party has made the requisite notifications to the police for adequate security deployment. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, speaking in Nyandarua, has maintained that the government will not allow unsanctioned public rallies to disrupt peace and business in Nairobi during Gachagua’s return. The interior Cs has also defended the move by the government to prefer terrorism charges on suspects of arson on government property, as well as those arrested on allegations of looting businesses, during demos.
