(2) Every such officer shall obey such requisition in such manner as he thinks fit, but in so doing he shall use as little force and do as little injury to person and property as may be consistent with dispersing the assembly and arresting and detaining such persons. 97. Power of Commissioned Military Officer to Dispense Assembly When the public security is manifestly endangered by any such assembly and when no Magistrate can be communicated with, any commissioned officer in command of any troops may disperse such assembly by military force and may arrest and confine any persons forming part of it in order to disperse such assembly or that they may be punished according to law; but if, while he is acting under this section, it becomes practicable for him to communicate with a Magistrate he shall do so, and shall thenceforward obey the instructions of such Magistrate as to whether he shall or shall not continue such action. 97. A. Control of Assemblies and Processions: (1) The Chief Inspector of Police may direct the conduct of all meetings, assemblies and processions on the public roads or in the public streets or other public places, and prescribe the routes by which, and the time at which, such processions may pass. (2) The Chief Inspector of Police with the consent of the SPLM County Secretary may also, on being satisfied that it is intended by any person or class of persons to convene or conduct a meeting or assembly in any such road, street or place or to form a procession which would, in his opinion, if uncontrolled, be likely to cause a breach of the peace or annoyance to the public of any section thereof, require by special or general notice that such person or class of persons shall first obtain a license from him for the purpose. (3) On application for such license being made the Chief Inspector of Police with the consent of the SPLM County Secretary shall issue a license specifying the names of the licensees and defining the conditions on which such meeting, assembly or procession is permitted. (4) Notwithstanding the provisions or subsection (3) the SPLM County Secretary if satisfied at any time that the holding of any meeting, assembly or procession or of any class thereof is contrary to the interests of public security may by special or general notice prohibit the holding of such meeting, assembly or procession or any class thereof for such period as they may think fit. (5) The SPLM County Secretary may, with regard to the whole or any part of his County, by order direct that no meeting, assembly or procession shall take place on the public roads or streets or in other public places unless the necessary notice thereof has first been given in accordance with such conditions as may be prescribed by such order. 29
