Like all land grabbing, it knows no political affiliation. If the likes of McR* and that other guy were honest, the same anger would extend to how CORD County government officials may have been involved. Use of tear gas on children cannot have been the best way to disperse the crowd neither can the use of toddlers in activism be the way forward, whether you like it not. The IG of Police or designate should swiftly act on this matter.
The Acting Inspector General has said the senior officer who led the Langata Rd operation has been suspended.
He has also condemned the use of school children in demonstrations.
Some parents had not authorized use of their children in the demos.
Langata Rd Pry Sch Headteacher asked to record statement with police on why children were allowed to join the demonstrations.
Demonstrating is a fundamental right in our constitution.
I always wonder why this gov't just doesn't stop digging.
I tough statement condemning the throwing of tear gas and the arrest of whoever did it would have ended this matter.
Now we want to jail a headmaster for speaking out for the loss of the space for his children to play?
What the hell is "authorizing the use of children". Kweli children are cars that need licenses? If any parent is aggrieved with their children in demonstrations its their right to sue the bugger and if injured they will win. That's not the work of the police.
Demonstrations are part of this constitution.
To make matters worse, those kids were demonstrating in their land.
Haki sometimes you really have to wonder.
Freedom to protest is a fundamental right and those children enjoy that right.
I'm even speechless that anyone would want this story to drag on.
Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.
