National protests have been going in the country under the direction of Azimio party leader, Raila Odinga. These protests were also ongoing in counties including Kisumu. On 29th March, the Governor of Kisumu county wrote a memo suspending protests in Kisumu county. In his memo, he stated the citizens of Kisumu will be joining protests in Nairobi hence the suspension. This left a question of whether this suspension was legal since citizens can protest wherever they want.
