Others expressed discontent with the new security measures the President had announced. Uhuru indictaed that police would be spread all over the country during the nominations and that any politician caught causing chaos would be disqualified.
Supporters of the Opposition weighed in on the conversation to instead share sentiments on the National Super Alliance (NASA) meeting at the Bomas of Kenya which was happening concurrently with Uhuru's address.
