Fires lit, shops closed as Kisumu begins IEBC demonstrations

NASA supporters in Kisumu have started their weekly anti-IEBC protests to push for the removal of IEBC secretariat officials.

Most businesses have remained closed as the protesters lit fires while carrying a mock coffin of IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba.

Kisumu Central MP Fred Ouda who is leading the protests told the police not to interfere with what he called a ‘peaceful protest”.

He said they don’t want teargas thrown at them until they present their memorandum to the IEBC offices.

“This is a peaceful demo and we expect the police to give us security,” he said.
