Mombasa, KENYA: Mombasa political leaders have condemned police officers after they interrupted anti IEBC demonstrations in Mombasa on Friday.

Mr.Faki  dismissed orders from the Acting Interior Cabinet secretary Fred Matiang’i and insisted that they will hold demonstrations according to NASA directives.

“We have been demonstrating in Mombasa every Monday and Friday and we don’t understand why police have decided to use tear gas today,” said Faki.
