A former Deputy Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, has condemned the recent clashes between protesters and the police, describing the physical altercations as unacceptable and counterproductive.
His comments come after reports surfaced of protesters engaging in fisticuffs with law enforcement during a demonstration organised by the Democracy Hub, leading to arrests and subsequent detention.
Speaking in an interview with TV3 on Saturday, September, 28, Dr Ayine emphasised that while the right to protest is protected under the constitution, violence should never be a part of such activities.
He stressed that peaceful demonstrations are an essential part of democracy, but the actions of some protesters who resorted to violence undermine the cause they are advocating for.
According to him, such behaviour only escalates tensions and complicates the relationship between citizens and law enforcement.
