Police mounted extensive roadblocks across major routes into Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) on Monday morning ahead of the planned Saba Saba demonstrations, a day historically associated with political protests in Kenya.
Road closures were reported on key arteries including Thika Road, Waiyaki Way, Mombasa Road, Ngong Road, Valley Road, Juja Road, and Lang’ata Road. Authorities blocked access for both private and public service vehicles, citing concerns that protestors might attempt to disguise themselves to enter the city centre and stage demonstrations.
