There was relative calm in Kisii and Nyamira counties as the much hyped Saba Saba went on at Uhuru Park in Nairobi. However, residents expressed disappointment at not being able to follow the event live from the venue.
People were spotted in small groups discussing the Saba Saba rally organised by CORD but with divided viewpoints. Some shared the scanty information gathered from the social media.
"Nothing is showing on the TV, we cannot tell what is happening, it is a total black out," said John Ondieki, a resident. Most shops remained open to the public.
