In response to the planned peaceful protests scheduled for Tuesday, a heavy police presence has been reported in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
Anti-riot police are patrolling the area in police vehicles and stationed outside key buildings, such as the Parliament buildings and the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
Despite the anticipated peaceful nature of the protests, many shops have remained closed, with only a few establishments operating. The usually bustling roads of the city are notably deserted, with limited vehicular activity.
The police presence is likely a precautionary measure to ensure order and safety during the protests. The demonstrations come amid heightened political tensions and widespread public dissatisfaction with recent government policies and actions.
