Police Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga has said that the National Police Service (NPS) is unaware of planned demonstrations on Monday, July 7, dubbed Saba Saba Day.
Nyaga, who spoke on Thursday morning during an interview on Citizen TV, said the service had yet to receive any formal notification about the planned protests.
He, however, affirmed the right of Kenyans to demonstrate but urged those planning to take to the streets to first seek permission from the police.
Muchiri noted that protesters could find themselves on the wrong side of the law if they resort to holding demonstrations without seeking a formal permit, adding that such illegal protests often descend into chaos and destruction of property.
