Uhuru Park. Showdown looms at the grounds on Tuesday as NASA supporters dare
National super Alliance (NASA) supporters have dared Nairobi police boss Japheth Koome to bring it on on Tuesday ahead of the planned swearing-in of Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka as the ‘people's president and deputy president.
Nairobi Police boss Japheth Koome had on Sunday banned any groups from attending any event at the Uhuru Park on Tuesday after 3 groups, including NASA and a Medical camp organized by Gatundu South MP and Nairobi Business community, had claimed the venue.
However in a rejoinder, NASA supporters have told off the police boss using his earlier advise “walk in groups ” to avoid being mugged within the CBD.
NASA supporters on social media have also advised the police to use water cannons to fight fires and not countering NASA supporters.
The supporters were using the hashtag ‘Liweliwalo’ on Twitter and here are some reactions.
“We are IRONED LIKE A LION IN ZION Koome we will swear in the legitimate president tomorrow trust me #LiweLiwalo #LangataFire,” @mtukatuni posted.
“Someone tell Nairobi police commandant Japhet Koome that NASA supporters will be walking into Uhuru park in groups to avoid the criminal gangs just as he had advised. #Liweliwalo,” @Eric_Midila posted.
“Koome is another sycophant who doesn't understand what police are supposed to do. Instead of cannons going to extinguish fire in Langata, they are busy loading with pepper water. One day even the those with guns will fall, and people will take the course. Its now,” @JohnieMuiah posted.
“All police crowd management trucks carry a lot of water spraying innocent Kenyans welcoming Raila and Koome puts them standby for Tuesday but not helping helpless people to put out fire,” @gmoraramo posted.
“Let me state that;
We as NASA supporters our sole business on Tuesday 30th will be to swear in our President...Hence we shall be peaceful.
but if attacked or provoked! Then let boys be separated from Men.
We shall stand our ground and fight in self-defense #LiweLiwalo,” @ Real_Wesonga stated.
