RUTO MOVES SWIFTLY TO TAME RAILA ODINGA FOR GOOD.

President William Ruto has moved to tame Azimio Leader Raila Odinga amid protests over the high cost of living.

This is after UDA MP Ruku Geoffrey Kiringa of Mbeere North revealed details of a Bill he was sponsoring in the National Assembly that seeks to re-define how demonstrations will be carried out in Kenya.

Ruku stated that the Bill, which will be tabled in the house for debate, will among other things, enlist types of protests, nature and how to carry out protests.

The UDA MP wants police to be given more powers in order to deal with those flouting the Public Order Act, especially, the leaders behind such demonstrations.

“This morning I am forwarding the Speaker of the National Assembly a Maandamano Bill. A Bill which if enacted, will regulate how demonstrations are carried in this country,” Ruku stated.

He explained that Kenya would have to adopt mechanisms which are employed in other developed nations in a manner that creates harmony and peace in the country.

“In most developed countries people hold demonstrations by hooting in traffic, others just whistle, those are the kind of peaceful demonstrations we are talking about.

“From what we have seen in the past, demonstrations in this country are always not peaceful, they are chaotic with serious elements of violence in the demonstrations,” Ruku stated.
