Reports indicate that the CEO of the National Super Alliance (NASA), Norman Magaya has gone into hiding.
This is after he learnt that police have been looking for him.
The Standard reported that Magaya went to hiding since Thursday night as police visited different places looking for him.
“If you see him tell him to report to police in Nairobi Area,” said one senior officer.
The move comes few days after Acting Interior and Coordination Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i warned Magaya would face legal action, for notifying the police about NASA anti-IEBC demos in Nairobi, and failing to contain the demonstrators, resulting to destruction of property.
"We will charge him after we have quantified the extent of the damage," warned Matiang'i during address to the nation, last week.
However, Magaya through his lawyer Apollo Mboya has written to Matiang'i, warning him against threatening to charge him.
“Our instructions is therefore to demand as we hereby do that you respect the law, stop the illegal pronouncements and intimidation of our client, ensure the police provide security to the peaceful demonstrators, apply the law equally with respect to the group styling itself as Nairobi Business Community and stop usurping the powers of the Director of Public Prosecution,” said Mboya in a letter seen by the local daily.
The Coalition lawyers, James Orengo and Otiende Amollo have since warned Matiang'i against arresting the CEO, saying the responsibility to protect lives and property during demonstration, lies with the police.
