Police officers condoning Supreme Court in Nairobi were forced to drive away a group of National Super Alliance (NASA) supporters led by MPs John Mbadi, Simba Arati, Gladys Wanga, Opiyo Wandayi and Narok Senator Ledama Olekina who arrived at the court demanding to access the Supreme Court precincts.
NASA made good their threats to access the court compound for a vigil , after police denied a formal request made by the coalition on Saturday to hold the event outside the court building.
The group attempted to walk towards the Supreme Court, but armed police officers resisted, pursuing them far from the court premises.
Police further forced the group to put off a public address system they were using, and allowed them conduct their prayers a distance from the court precincts without the PA.
The MPs resisted police move claiming it was their right to pray whenever they wanted.
Police had earlier warned they would not allow anyone to group outside the Supreme Court. Presidential petition proceedings filed by Raila Odinga at the court are ongoing.
The Supreme Court judges together with parties in the petition had been expected at the court, where judges were to give rulings on interlocutory applications at 7pm today (Sunday).
The hearing of the case will formally kick off on Monday at 9am. Applicant's attorneys will be the first to argue their case, before respondents are allowed to counter the arguments.

Wapi ile brownes babu owish....kwa ii protest...si akunje na io kapua yake ndogo ..na ulimi baggy
We the people cannot allow opportunists (Uhuru and Ruto take away our democratic rights using thugs to stop the people from demonstrating.
The illiterate people of Kenya who voted for Kenyatta and Toroitich sycophants (Uhuru and Ruto)into power have committed an unpardonable mistake.
The other day Hero Matiba was paid over five hundred millions shillings for what Toroitich did to him. When Toroitich was busy killing people and torturing others in Nyayo House, the two sycophants were silent and heaping unnecessary praises to dictator and murderer Toroitich.
As you as your term of office (uhuru and Ruto) is over, we the people will arrest Toroitich and all the financial thieves you two protected to pay up for the crimes they committed against the people of Kenya.
If they/we are illiterate then y'all not so smart , how can presidency be stolen from you 4 times in a row ,you mustn't be smart either tsk tsk tsk.
Do those "WE THE PEOPLE" know that muuaji Raila is one of the financial thugs who should face the firing squad?
@Anonymous: You the people! How many people? Just asking. The elite voted for the lord of poverty! right? Wake up.
Gladys Wanga kweli in Shaniqua drama drama drama
NASA is full of thugs. We cannot allow thugs to run this nation. We cannot settle the presidential petition on the streets. If these MPs want to demonstrate, each has the constituency that elected him/her. Go and hold protests there. By coming to Nairobi, you are infringing on the turf outside your jurisdiction.
