The Kenya National Police Service will not allow NASA
supporters into The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Friday 17th November
2017.
In a terse press statement on its social media accounts,
Police said their attention has been drawn to politicians mobilizing supporters
to receive NASA leader Raila Odinga when he jets back into the Country.
“JKIA is a protected area hence access is open to bonafide
travelers and all others with legitimate business at the airport must be
subjected at all times to the standard security procedures,” the statement read
in part.
Police say it is thus not advisable to mobilize huge crowds
to travel to the facility as it risks jeopardizing the safety of the air
operators, passengers and other users.
“Those without valid reasons to enter the facility will
hence be denied entry. Therefore, those mains plans for that day are advised
accordingly.”
NASA leadership first made the call during a rally at
Jacaranda grounds in Embakasi East on 12th November before self titled NRM
troops Commander Miguna Miguna called on one million match grand welcome
reception for former Premier Odinga upon his return from USA.
Mr. Odinga is in the US where he has been involved in
meetings geared towards pushing the opposition’s electoral reform agenda.
