Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has found itself in trouble with a section of netizens after making a controversial tweet on the ongoing countrywide dusk to dawn curfew.

The Ornge party on Tuesday took to twitter to express its support for the government’s efforts to curb the spread of Coronavirus.

ODM in its post went ahead to condemn police brutality meted on the citizens in the name of enforcing government orders.

The party went ahead to condemn the shooting of a Standard 8 pupil, Yasin Hussein Moyo, who was standing on the balcony of their home in Kiamaiko, Nairobi, at the time the police were trying to enforce the curfew.

ODM said that the shooting to death of a KCPE candidate Yasin Moyo at their balcony in Kimaiko in Mathare must be condemned by all.

“We support govt’s efforts to curb the spread of Coronavirus, we also condemn police brutality m on the citizens in the name of enforcing govt orders. Last evening’s shooting to death of a KCPE candidate Yasin Moyo at their balcony in Kimaiko in Mathare must be condemned by all,” tweeted ODM.

However, this did not go well with a section of Kenyans on Twitter. While reacting on the post, KOT told off the Orange party, arguing that police brutality did not begin yesterday.

They accused the party of remaining silent when police have been using excessive force on Kenyans for a long time now.

Some accused the party of using millions to print campaign T-Shirts, but failing to donate face masks and sanitizers at the time of need.

Here are some of the reactions.

Director of Public Prosecutions ( DPP ) Noordin Haji has directed Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to thoroughly but urgently investigate reported incident of shooting of 13 yr old boy at Kiamaiko, Mathare, Nairobi.

The IG is then expected to forward the investigation file to DPP’s office for appropriate direction.

The police are said to have shot the boy on Monday night, when the minor was on a balcony of their home, trying to catch a glimpse of the men in uniform who were enforcing the nationwide curfew.

The shooting incident is said to have happened at around 7:20 pm.

The minor was then rushed to the nearby Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The bullet is said to have penetrated into his intestines.

Nairobi county commander Philip Ndolo said the boy was accidentally hit by a ricochet as police were trying to disperse a gang who had defied the 7pm to 5am curfew.

Defending the police, Ndolo said, the ricochet can take any direction when released and cause even cause harm to the source.
