Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Communications Director Philip Etale has weighed in on the controversial bill proposed by Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris, which seeks to restrict protesters from accessing public offices such as Parliament by imposing a 100-metre buffer zone.
Taking to his official X account on the night of Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Etale firmly opposed the idea, arguing that it runs contrary to Article 37 of the Constitution, which guarantees every Kenyan the right to assemble, demonstrate, picket, and present petitions to public authorities.
