The National Super Alliance (NASA) has canceled the peaceful protests it had called for in Nairobi on Friday, November 9, 2017.
The Alliance had called on its supporters to resume street protests from Friday, November 10.
The NASA, through its top officials, claimed the protests aimed at shunning electoral injustice and ending electoral impunity in the county.
NASA, through its resistance wing dubbed National Resistance Movement (NRM) even wrote to Nairobi Police Commander Japhet Koome to notify him of the planned demos.
However, in a fresh turn of events, the Alliance has called off the peaceful protest at the eleventh hour.
Breaking the news to the public through an official statement, Siaya Senator James Orengo said the cancellation is owed to the on-going debate in the county Assemblies to allow the formation of a People’s Assembly.
According to Orengo, the creation of People’s Assembly is way important since it will help Kenyans find solutions to the electoral stalemate in the country.
‘’The National Super Alliance wishes to notify its supporters that the peaceful protests for electoral justice that had been scheduled to take place in Nairobi tomorrow, November 10, 2017, have been postponed until further notice,’’ Orengo said.
'’This is to enable the Coalition’s leaders and supporters to concentrate on and support the initiative that is intended to have the people exercise their sovereignty directly and chart their future through a People’s Assembly,’’ Orengo added.
Orengo assured NASA supporters that a new date will be announced in due course.
''A new date will be announced in due course. NASA in the meantime wishes to congratulate the County Assemblies that have so far debated and passed the Motion on People’s Assembly and encourages those yet to do so to move with speed and give Kenyans a chance to decide their destiny.'' Concluded the statement.
