  • A source said the meeting essentially marked a “drawing of the red line” over “rebellious” activities by the DP, who was roundly condemned for fighting his own government.
  • Last evening, the DP announced cancellation of another meeting planned in Kisii today as he defended his ‘empowerment’ drives.
