“There’s an attempt by our competitors to lock us out of venues for meetings. Last week it was Bukhungu Stadium,” he said.
Kenya Kwanza was barred from using the Tononoka grounds as President Uhuru Kenyatta will be in Mombasa and he intends to use it, however, the Kenya Kwanza team insists that today’s campaign will go on as planned.
“Some people are using the police to sabotage our campaigns; they don’t want us to use the Tononoka grounds in Mombasa. When we ask for reasons, we are told that the president will be in Mombasa,” he said.
