Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga on Friday addressed a charged rally at the Kamukunji Grounds before leading his supporters towards the Nairobi Central Business District. Raila Odinga in his address issued new demands to President William Samoei Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza administration.
However, it was not Business as usual after the vocal leader of the opposition managed to make his way into the Nairobi Central Business District. His supporters were blocked from making their way into the Nairobi CBD.
Some of the supporters within the CBD engaged police officers in the running battles after Raila Odinga made his presence in the CBD. Teargas canisters were lobbed at the protesters while on the other hand, police found it difficult to put out bonfires that were burnt on roads by protesters.
While addressing the media after entering the Nairobi CBD, Raila Odinga praised his supporters for walking all the way from Kamukunji Grounds towards the CBD. He described his entry to Nairobi CBD as a great achievement.
He also praised the youths for engaging police officers in running battles. He said the move confused the police into using up all their teargas and later running away allowing his convoy to move forward to the CBD.
