Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has warned Azimio protesters that they will face the law in the event they make good their threats to engage in violent demonstrations on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
In a statement on Tuesday, Kindiki said that security agencies have been deployed to avert violent protests.
"National security agencies have deployed all the available resources to ensure that the scenes witnessed on Wednesday do not happen again. Anyone planning to unleash violence on Kenyans is hereby warned to cease and desist," he said.
The CS added that during the July 12 protests, many parts of the country including Nairobi witnessed violence, lawlessness and destruction of private and public property.
"The destruction was done by persons purporting to exercise their Constitutional rights and freedoms. The Country almost degenerated into total chaos perpetrated by criminal elements hiding under the guise of the Article 37 right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and petition public authorities," he said.
CS Kindiki further assured Kenyans of their safety and urged them to go about their daily business as normal.
He said those who demonstrate should protest within the law and without violating the rights of others.
