The citizens have also requested to be provided with security as the march is non-political and non-partisan.

The need to enact a law that public officers undergoing graft investigations must step aside has also been highlighted as a key issue.

Plus need 2 enact law tht public officrs undergoin graft investigations MUST step aside. Pls @StateHouseKenya @PDUDelivery @NziokaWaita recommend to th President to hv new stern graft laws enactd e.g life imprisonmnt n suspects remain in remand til provd inocent. #ConsumerVoice
