A heavy contingent of police officers has been deployed in different parts of the capital ahead of Azimio’s anti-government protests.
Dozens of lorries, armed personnel and water cannons along city estates and the CBD heading west as the General Service Unit and other contingents of the police service continued being deployed mainly to hotspots across the country.
Security forces have been deployed near government buildings, including State Houses, stadiums, and prominent squares.
On Juja road, the route connecting residents of Mlango Kubwa, Huruma, Mathare, Eastleigh and as far as Kariobangi to the Nairobi CBD, police presence was evident.
Azimio Leader Raila Odinga called for mass demonstrations in response to the government’s failure to address the increase in the cost of living and electoral reforms.
