CORD AND PRAYERS BEYOND BOUNDARIES MINISTRY BANNED FROM UHURU PARK TOMORROW


State bars Cord, church rallies at Uhuru Park



by David Muli

The historic venue that was threatening to be a theatre of chaos during tomorrow’s Madaraka Day celebrations between a religious group and Raila Odinga-led Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) for a prayer service and rally respectively will now be off limits.


The move by the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC), which met yesterday and banned any activity, has technically locked out Raila’s planned Madaraka Day parallel rally in Nairobi to the President Uhuru Kenyatta at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru. The country has been in the grip of a divisive debate on who between Cord and Prayers Beyond Boundaries Ministry will have the right to use the facility tomorrow.
