Raila Odinga cancels the Kamukunji Grounds protest, claiming intelligence reports of armed criminals plotting to assassinate Azimio leaders.
Simultaneously, Mr Odinga stated that the protests will continue until President Ruto agrees to key demands, including the repeal of the Finance Act 2023 in order to reduce the cost of living.
Kenyans are now speculating about what occurred after police spotted removing gas cylinders from one of the traders.
Police were seen in the movie loading gas cylinders on their vehicles, according to videos provided by Azimio leaders led by Edwin Sifuna and Gabriel Oguda.
Kenyans have had conflicting reactions to Gabriel Oguda’s post, with some defending the police, claiming that they were collecting to safeguard it from the demonstrators.”BREAKING NEWS: Azimio protesters captured on camera looting gas cylinders after Rigathi Gachagua called them idlers who only know how to destroy businesses.” Oguda tweeted.
Here are some of the responses from Kenyans;
Thomas; There is clear indication from the passersby that there were no demonstrations in this clip and it doesn’t look like for today! I don’t see looting here.
Nassir Kambi; What country is this? If police officers can loot in day broad light, what of civilians? Where is professionalism?
Ibrahim; that’s an old video, in the background business is going on as usual, no protests
The Police may have been offering transport services to the shop owner or the may have just bought the gas cylinders don’t be quick to judge.
Boniface; They’re moving the cylinders to a safe location.
