Nairobi - Police said on Tuesday they would
not allow a planned mass opposition rally on Thursday in Nairobi
to protest at polls that returned President Mwai Kibaki to power
and triggered violence killing at least 150 people.
"When people are daring enough to commit crimes against
other people's lives and property, it is not likely the police
can also have the capacity to organise security properly,"
police spokesperson Eric Kiraithe told a news conference.
"The ban on political rallies is not without reason."
