4. We demanded of ambassadors particularly from U.K and U.S. to play their diplomatic role as neutral but independent arbiters without showing favouritism for Jubilee government, yet, it’s a government that doesn’t enjoy universal acceptability among Kenyans.

10. We demanded for a stop to arbitrary arrests and concoction of frivolous charges that can not stand credible jurisprudential test.
