Security has been heightened in Nairobi ahead of planned protests marking the first anniversary of last year's anti-tax demonstrations, during which at least 60 people were killed.
A spot check by The Standard has revealed heavy police deployment at key installations and in areas deemed potentially volatile.
Parliament Buildings, breached by protesters on June 25, 2024, has been fortified with razor wire, with armed officers stationed at all access points.
Access to the city center has been restricted, with several feeder roads partially blocked. Police have put up barriers at Valley Road and Ngong Road, effectively denying motorists access to the CBD.
