The High Court has clipped the Inspector General of Police's powers to declare protests illegal at will and without justification.
Last year, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja banned protests within the Nairobi's Central Business District.
At the same time, he issued a directive that all protests must have leaders who ought to be held accountable in case of any destruction or harm.
However, Justice Bahati Mwamuye ruled that Kanja's directive was unconstitutional.
