NASA protesters carry coffins of 'Chiloba, Matiang'i' during anti-IEBC demos in Migori on October 13, 2017. [Photo/the-star] The National Super Alliance (Nasa) supporters who participated in the Friday's anti-IEBC protests in Migori county, ended their protests in drama. The protesters who took to the streets to demand for the removal of IEBC officials believed to have bungled the August 8 general election, could not end their demos without 'burying' the man accused of being at the centre stage of the rigged elections, IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba. The demonstrators built two coffins, that of Chiloba and the other one was for the Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. Matiang'i seemed to have angered them after he banned the Nasa demos in the CBDs of Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa. The demonstrators then headed to Migori county IEBC offices where a funeral service for the two was held. The opposition protesters signed condolences books, sang funeral songs, prayed for the departed ‘souls' before 'burying' them. All this happened under the watch of anti-riot police. “We want to tell Matiang’I that he still lives in the past if he thinks he can issue orders on our constitutional rights to picket, we buried him too and his order here today,” Suna West MP Peter Masara is quoted by the Star.
