The Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) approached them and advised them to present their grievances to the Sub-County Administrator, who would then forward the same to the County Governor. The demonstrators became unruly and started harassing innocent people prompting police to disperse them. Two suspects were arrested and the road was cleared. Ten motorcycles which had been used to block the road were impounded and retained at KBC Police Station. The owners will be charged once they are traced. The two suspects were charged with the offence of participating in an unlawful assembly. (7) On 29th February, 2016, police received information that there would be an unlawful demonstration at Tala Market, against hiking of revenue fees by the Machakos County Government. This prompted the police to employ pre-emptive measures. Lastly, the Government does not intend to take any action against the police officers as they acted within the law in the execution of their duties. I wish to emphasize that the residents of Machakos County should adhere to the Constitution just like any other Kenyan. Any violation of the same will be dealt with in accordance with the law."
