Bobi Wine has appreciated the support Kenyans showed him while he was in detention. The firebrand MP says he plans to meet Kenyans very soon to interact with them.

“I will soon announce plans to reach out and thank all those who have stood and continue to stand with us in this struggle against dictatorship. Specifically, let me assure our dear brothers and sisters in Kenya, as well as other fraternal African countries that I have read your countless messages of solidarity. Very soon, I will announce plans for us to meet, interact and sing songs of freedom,” said Bobi Wine in a press statement.
