No Protest Will Be Allowed In Nairobi CBD, Police Commander Bungei Says

    Nairobi Region Police Commander Adamson Bungei has dismissed any plans to organize protests in Nairobi today.

    The police chief stated that no one requested for a gathering or picketing permit, as expected.

    Bungei claimed they received a ‘faulty’ document dated June last year that did not fulfill the protest permission threshold.

    “We have heightened our patrols within the CBD to ensure there is no disruption of businesses. No body applied for any license or permit to do the protests,” said Bungei.

    The police chief said they have mobilized officers to ensure that any gathering is dispersed instantly in the CBD.

    This comes as activists led by Boniface Mwangi have already issued an elaborate plan for the protest dubbed ‘Occupy Parliament’ against the Finance Bill 2024.
