Calm in Nyeri despite nationwide disruptions
Nyeri town woke up to another calm day with residents going about their daily business even as some parts of the country braced themselves for another round of opposition-sponsored protests yesterday.
A spot check by KNA revealed people were going about their work uninterrupted with no sign of anti-riot police officers anywhere as has become the norm every Monday and Thursday in towns.
The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance yesterday said the anti-government demonstrations would go on despite spirited efforts from both the clergy and foreign envoys calling for both government and opposition leaders to consider giving dialogue a chance. Justus Omondi who works at the Nyeri KUKENA Sacco booking office told KNA their PSV matatus were still ferrying passengers to Nairobi, a city that has borne the brunt of the protests.
Omondi also pointed out that while he remains an ardent supporter of ODM leader Raila Odinga, he does not condone the ongoing violent chaos that the country has witnessed as protesters engage police in day-long running battles.
