Likoni Member of Parliament Mishi Mboko has said they will continue with the Saba Saba protests despite being dispersed by police officers who lobbed teargas at them.
She expressed her disappointment with the government deploying security officers around the country during peaceful protests.
This comes after the police on Friday dispersed protesters in Mombasa by lobbying teargas as they commemorated Saba Saba day.
"I am surprised by this Kenya Kwanza government, how can they deploy so many police officers during peaceful demonstrations yet there are so many insecurity cases in the country," she said.
“Aluta Continua! No retreat, no surrender.”
The MP said Kenyans have a right to peaceful demonstrations as they air out their dissatisfaction with the government.
She said it was against the law for the police to interrupt the protesters as they peacefully demonstrate.
"Kenyans disagree with the issue of the high cost of living and they have decided to air out their voices. It is their right to peacefully march to the streets," Mboko said.
The chaos began at around 9.30 am in Mombasa.
Members of Parliament including Rashid Bedzimba (Kisauni), Badi Twalib (Jomvu), Machele Masoud (Mvita), Likoni MP Mishi Mboko, and Mombasa Woman Representative ZamZam Mohammed also joined the demonstrations.
