The Acting Interior Cabinet secretary Fred Matiangi's ban on NASA's anti-IEBC demonstrations in CBDs has not gone with a section of Kenyans.Matiang'i announced the ban on Thursday while addressing journalists in Nairobi with the affected counties being Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa.
Majority of twitter users expressed their disappointment with the ban with only a few supporting it as can be seen below:@MarkDienya posted, "CS Matiangi doesn't have the Powers to Take away a Right enshrined in the Constitution, Let Kenyans Remind HIM #JubileeDictatorship.""Matiangi is just a foolish man being used by the regime. Then they will kill him or leave him to the law. When power gets into your head!" @Abbott254 said.@Cavinceworld noted, "Attempts by CS Matiangi to ban demonstrations is equivalent to bid to overthrow the Constitution. It is null and void.""How come this monster Matiangi has not commented anything about the Prado that ran over innocent demonstrators???" @NyabutoLilian wondered.@ItsMutai said, "Fred Matiangi has spoken for 30minutes outlawing demos in Nairobi yet he as spoken nothing of the CAR THAT DROVE THROUGH a crowd. Is alright.""Cs Matiangi bans peaceful demo's in important CBD's and charges Norman magaya edging us closer on the path of dictatorship not rule of law," @BonayaR wrote.@mainakaumbuthu noted, "CS Matiangi is doing wat Kenyans expect of him, protection of property and right to peaceful environment, NASA aren't alone in Kenya."
@Justofitsn asked, "CS Matiangi " Please provide for us the map where CBD starts and ends."
"CS Matiangi blindly walking the same street the late ministers Michuki, Saitoti & Nkaissery walked. #JubileeDictatorship," @Phil_254
@just_langat noted, "What CS Matiangi opposers are simply saying is,..it is a constitutional right to loot,rob,disrupt businesses & smash car windows."
@chiefnjoroge noted, "Stupid pple will always b stupid pple CSMatiangi only banned the demos in CBD areas of Nai, coast n Ksm. He did NOT BAN the ENTIRE demo."
