Reports by Tom Maliti on the action in Msa on Saturday 5 January 2008:
4.29 pm - Brief demo today before cops blocked Jomo Kenyatta Avenue. Balala made constitutional argument about freedom of assembly. Police talked of notice. Now notice filed for Monday
4.36 pm - As convoy of ODM leaders and activists went to file notification, police lobbed tear gas at protesters escorting vehicles but cops were in the wind direction and gassed themselves!
4.41pm - Now downtown Msa more active than yesterday afternoon when I arrived. In South coast to get a sense of what has happened over the past few days.
4.51pm - At the neighbourhood kiosks. Residents say the cost of basic goods is: a loaf of bread KShs 70/-, a leaf of sukuma wiki Kshs 10, a quarter kilo of maize flour Kshs 100!
