Mahakama Kuu leo imeondoa kwa muda zuio la serikali kwa wafuasi wa NASA kufanya maandamano kwenye miji ya Nairobi, Mombasa na Kisumu mpaka kesi iliyofunguliwa na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa NASA Norman Magaya itakapoamuliwa
NASA walifungua shauri mahakamani siku ya Jumatatu tarehe 16 kuwazuia polisi na mwendesha mashataka wa serikali kutekeleza agizo la serikali la kuzuia maandamano lililotolewa wiki iliyipita na Waziri wa Usalama Fred Matiang'i
========================================
The High Court on Tuesday temporarily lifted the government’s ban on demonstrations in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu Central Business Districts (CBDs), until a case filed by NASA CEO Norman Magaya is determined.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) had on Monday, October 16, filed a petition before the court to stop the police and the Director of Public Prosecution from implementing the government’s ban on demonstrations that was issued last week by acting Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.
Through lawyer Jackson Awele, the opposition coalition had argued that the police have failed in their role to provide security to demonstrators but instead are acting and subjecting the public to unjustified harassment, torture, brutality and killing in selected regions of the country
The opposition maintained that Mr. Matiang’i had no legal basis and acted outside his powers in ordering for the arrest of NASA CEO Norman Magaya.
“Should the court fail to intervene, the applicant and its members shall suffer irreparable gross and fundamental contravention of their constitutional rights and freedoms,” Magaya said in the affidavit.
NASA leaders, however, have vowed to proceed with their scheduled demonstrations within CBDs of the cities despite the government’s ban.
