In anticipation of large-scale protests, police have blocked City Hall Way as Kenyans prepare to storm the streets of Nairobi’s Central Business District to protest the Finance Bill 2024.
There is a significant police presence, with officers setting up a roadblock on a section of the road.
Vehicles attempting to use City Hall Way are undergoing inspections before being permitted to pass. This heightened security measure is part of a broader deployment of police officers across various parts of Nairobi, including the area around Parliament.
The protests, dubbed “Occupy Parliament,” aim to pressure Members of Parliament to reject the Finance Bill 2024, which many Kenyans have criticized as “punitive.” The demonstrations reflect the growing discontent among the populace regarding the proposed financial legislation.
