The government has assured the Linda Mwananchi movement of adequate security during its planned Homa Bay tour, with Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo saying politicians have a democratic right to visit any part of the country.
Dr Omollo said the government would not restrict political actors from moving across the country as long as they observe the law.
This comes amid concerns by Linda Mwananchi leaders over what they termed as intimidation from their ODM rivals in Homa Bay.
“As the people in charge of internal security, the position is very clear. Everybody is free to go anywhere. The expectation is that we must observe law and order,” Omollo said.
His remarks are likely to ease concerns within the Linda Mwananchi camp, which has been expanding its grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Linda Mwananchi, associated with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo, MPs Babu Owino and Caroli Omondi and other leaders, has been holding rallies across the country as it seeks to galvanise support across the country.
