<\/a><\/p>\nAll messages targeted at President Uhuru Kenyatta and perhaps best expressed by the t-shirts branded, \u2018Mr. President we need your action on security.\u2019<\/p>\n
Other than placards they also brought with them hundreds of small crosses painted red.<\/p>\n
\u201cRed for the blood of those who\u2019ve lost their lives to the incompetence of Lenku and Kimaiyo,\u201d protest organiser Boniface Mwangi explained.<\/p>\n
The ouster of Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku and Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo being the main motive for their sit-in outside the Office of the President.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he (President Kenyatta) is too afraid to sack them, let him do what he did with the intelligence chief and ask them to resign. How many more people need to die beforehe takes decisive action?\u201d Mwangi posed.<\/p>\n
But what was meant to be a peaceful protest got off to a\u00a0 rocky start when the urchins, armed with knives, began to destroy the crosses and demanded to know from Mwangi where he got money to print t-shirts and obtain crosses.<\/p>\n All of which took place in the full view of anti-riot police who stood by and watched passively.<\/p>\n \u201cIf the police can just stand by and watch I need not ask who brought them here to harass us,\u201d Mwangi said in reference to the urchins.<\/p>\n Mwangi and his supporters were however more urchins and among them was gospel hip-hop artist David Mathenge.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m here because I\u2019m tired of being a keyboard protester as most middle class Kenyans are accused of being. I\u2019m tired of being afraid, being afraid to shop because I\u2019m reminded of Westgate. Now just imagine what life is like for those at the frontline of this war, at the Kenya-Somalia border. I mean isn\u2019t it just common sense that we should have sufficient troops there? Why did 28 Kenyans have to die for Kimaiyo to deploy more troops there?\u201d Mathenge challenged.<\/p>\n Also present at the sit-in was Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale who sang, danced, chanted and sat, in unison with the protesters.<\/p>\n \u201cRuto come out, Uhuru come out,\u201d he shouted as he walked between the Office of the President and that of the Deputy President.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
