ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga has called on the police to protect peaceful demonstrators in the planned commemoration of the young people killed in anti-government protests.

Speaking at Power House in Nairobi after receiving a brief from the victims' compensation panel, Dr Oburu said security officers should allow people to exercise their constitutional rights.

"Come out peacefully and demonstrate, and give notice to police so that police can give you protection,” he said. “Our policemen should also be trained to protect people who are demonstrating. The people are not their enemies; the people are their employers and they should protect them."
