The National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal Moses Wetangula now wants Interior CSJoseph Nkaissery to ensure all the rowdy youth who disrupted ODM leader Raila Odinga’s Friday rally in Turkana County are arrested and brought to book.
He further asked the government to boost security to all political aspirants as campaigns for the forthcoming August 8, general election intensify saying Kenyans should feel free to popularise their agenda in every part of the country.
“We want to see Kenyans going to every part of Kenya and selling their policies freely. People have the right to resist ideas sold to them but do not have the right to interfere with whoever is delivering the message,” he said as quoted by the Nation.
"Nkaiserry should use the same force he used on us and innocent protestors during the anti-IEBC demonstrations in dealing with bandits and youth who are keen on perpetrating violence during this electioneering period," added the Bungoma Senator.
His calls come barely a day after ODM leader Raila Odinga’s rally in Katilia in Turkana County was disrupted by rowdy youths.
The Senate minority leader also condemned Friday night’s incident in which a Baringo MCAand a parliamentary aspirant were shot dead at a petrol station in Marigat.
The presidential aspirant said the incident was a clear indication of a failed government that is unable to deal with runaway insecurity.
