Azimio la Umoja leaders failed to turn up for anti-government protests that began from Kawangware through Kangemi-Waruku all the way to Kiambu County.
The coalition leaders led by Raila Odinga were instead hold up in a meeting at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation in Upper Hill, Nairobi where they discussed a number of issues pertaining to the bipartisan talks.
Raila’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party claimed a successful procession, noting that the police accorded them respect during the demonstration.
“We have had a peaceful procession from Kawangware-Kangemi-Waruku-Westlands-Parklands-Muthaiga-Kiambu Rd with a full escort of the police in 15 land-cruisers.
“Nobody was robbed. No mama mboga was harassed. Everyone was cheering on and saying how tired they are with the regime,” Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party wrote on Twitter.
A contingent of anti-riot police officers blocked access to the Nairobi CBD at Fig Tree Hotel, Ngara and Landhies Road.
