The DP argued that it is foolhardy to have talks going on simultaneously with the demon- strations being held alongside the Talks. Prior to this proclamation by the DP, Azimio leader Raila Odinga had also announced that demos were resuming on Tues- day May 2nd. Nairobi Regional Com- mander of Police Adamson Bungei outlawed the demos and warned that police will disperse demonstrators because they cause violence whenever they are demonstrating. Now uncertainty hovers over the city skies today as to what will eventually happen be- tween Azimio’s demonstrators and the police.
