Protests in Kenya Interrupt President Mwai Kibaki’s Independence Day Speech
An independence day speech being delivered by Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki was cut short on Thursday when protesters began jeering the leader after a man was arrested while trying to hand the leader a note.
Kibaki was addressing a large crowd at Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium in celebration of the country’s 45th Independence Day when protesters began to heckle him over recent government bills that have limited the rights of Kenyans.
Many of the protesters expressed outrage over a bill passed on Wednesday that allowed the state to raid media houses and control broadcast content, a direct attack on freedom of speech and press.
Many attending the Independence Day celebrations wore shirts bearing slogans that expressed extreme displeasure with the parliamentary measure. In addition to those protesting the media bill several voiced outrage over the rising food prices in the country
At least 20 protesters were arrested during the celebrations.
