Cabinet Secretary asks county government to consider other venues for political rallies.
Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja has contradicted the Cabinet Secretary for Defence Aden Duale over a directive banning political rallies at Uhuru Park and Central Park in Nairobi.
Speaking on Thursday during the official handover of the renovated parks at Uhuru Park, Mr Sakaja said it is the devolved unit’s mandate to decide on the events that can take place at the parks and not Mr Duale or the Ministry he heads.
