Civil society organisations have come together last Friday at Ufungamano House and today at Freedom Corner inside Uhuru park with a renewed call for energy, unified and coordinated approach to keep an eye on issues of reform and the new constitution implementation.

And this came as a precursor a planned address to the media and public at Freedom Corner inside Uhuru Park this Sunday, where they will present a list of demands to the President and the PM that will include the need to rid the government of corrupt elements and those mentioned adversely in corruption related matters and the ICC.
