Questions are now emerging if the Interior CS, Joseph Nkaissery and the Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet issued orders to the anti-riot police to brutally crash the joint protests by Kanu and Cord.
Pictures trending online expose incidents of police right with their protective helmets and fully armed to deal with the protestors. Nkaissery is on record confirming that the police were ready to firmly deal with the opposition and their supporters if they ever set foot at the Anniversary Towers.
The heart touching images of bleeding citizens could be mistaken for a terror attack, but this is not the case because the perpetrators are the police from the General Service Unit.
The Interior CS, prior to the demos, had said his officers were in for a refresher training with the Cord demonstrators at the IEBC offices. We now get what he meant.
Kenyans on social media have sharply bashed at the country's security machinery for treating civilians like Al-Shabaab sympathisers owing to the brutal manner in which they were treated.
