Nairobi Regional Police Commander Adamson Bungei urged the public to stay away from the CBD.
“These measures are temporary and meant to ensure public safety during the protests. We urge Kenyans to cooperate.”
Expect severe traffic disruption, longer commute times, and random police checks throughout the day. If possible, use outer bypasses or delay non-essential travel.
