Police have blockaded roads into Nairobi city centre on Wednesday morning as Kenyans take to the streets to mark the one-year anniversary of anti-government protests, which culminated in the storming of parliament and several deaths when security forces opened fire on demonstrators.

Public service vehicles (PSVs) have been particularly affected, with passengers being forced to disembark outside the central business district (CBD) and walk the rest of the way.
