15 CORD supporters arrested as police disperse anti IEBC demo
- 5 years ago
At least 15 supporters of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) have been arrested after police dispersed their protest against Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
Several other protesters also sustained injuries during the demonstration outside IEBC offices at Anniversary Towers on the University Way.
“We also confiscated 6 motorbikes,” Central police Chief Paul Wanjama told Capital FM News.
He did not however say whether they will be arraigned in court and over what offence.
Police lobbed tear gas canisters and used water cannons to break up the sit just as Senator James Orengo had started addressing them.
CORD principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula were seated on the tarmac on University Way listening to Orengo when tear gas canisters rained on them.
“Who killed Juma (controversial businessman Jacob Juma)?” it is the question Senator James Orengo, who was by then addressing the protestors, posed.
The next minute; everyone was scampering for safety.
