Raila Odinga and his brigade have so far held two major demonstrations, the latest one which turned ugly happened on Monday. The police were deployed all over the streets of Nairobi and Kisumu to counter-demonstrators who were pelting stones.

Police used teargas, live bullets, and water canons to disperse demonstrators in Kawangware, Mathare, and Kibera, areas where Raila Odinga has huge support. In Kibera, businesses were set ablaze, a school, a church, and a mosque on Monday night.

Armed criminals also attacked Northlands City, a huge piece of land belonging to President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family. They cut down trees, subdivided the land, constructed structures, and stole over 1,400 sheep that were on the farm.

Criminals also attacked Raila Odinga’s gas depot, Spectre, broke windows, and destroyed property worth millions before taking off using motorbikes and two unmarked cars. Raila has vowed to continue with the demonstrations weekly until his demands are met.
