What you need to know:

  • Coalition hired at least 400 men to offer private ‘professional’ security
  • At least three members of a group called the “Men in Black” who were caught on camera violently disrupting ODM elections on February 28 were spotted at yesterday’s rally next to the dais giving instructions on who was to be allowed into the area designated for dignitaries.

Security was tight at Nairobi’s Uhuru Park with all access points sealed, leaving only two entrances that police officers manned where they screened Cord supporters.
