The event was part of Sifuna’s “Linda Mwananchi Tour,” a campaign aimed at speaking to ordinary citizens about political issues and the future of the country.
The rally had attracted a large number of supporters who gathered peacefully to hear Sifuna and his team talk about their goals and message.
The crowd was singing and chanting slogans when the police suddenly released tear gas to disperse people. Many in the crowd were forced to leave quickly as the gas spread and caused discomfort and fear.
Sifuna and his supporters were shocked by the response from security forces. Sifuna himself tried to calm the people and asked why police would use tear gas on a peaceful meeting. He questioned the motive behind the action and said it was wrong to treat citizens this way.
After the rally ended in confusion, Sifuna released a strong message to the public. He said that even though the event was stopped by force, he would not stop his tour and would continue to speak for the people.
He said this kind of action by state forces will not make him give up or go back on his plans.
Sifuna promised that his movement would remain peaceful and focused on defending the rights and interests of ordinary Kenyans.
This rally happened at a time when Sifuna is at the centre of political tension within his party, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). Recently, there was disagreement inside ODM about his role and leadership.
Despite these internal struggles, Sifuna has continued to go out and meet with people across the country.
Supporters of the tour have shown strong backing for Sifuna, chanting slogans and standing by him even as the rally was cut short. Many see his message as a call for change and a challenge to the current political direction.
In the face of the tear gas disruption, Sifuna has made it clear that he will not relent and will keep working to reach Kenyans wherever he can.
