Deputy Inspector General Gilbert Masengeli has clarified that no one has been blocked from accessing Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
While patrolling the CBD alongside senior police officials, Masengeli urged Kenyans to go about their normal activities, assuring the public that security was under control ahead of the planned Saba Saba protests.
He was speaking to journalists who caught up with him at the University Way roundabout.
“We have been here, and everybody is allowed to enter CBD, people are also reporting to work as usual”, he stated.
He also urged those intending to participate in the protests to maintain law and order.
“I urge everyone to keep peace and confine themselves within the rule of the law”, he appealed.
There was, however, reduced activity within the CBD as police intensified security to safeguard businesses and prevent potential violence, property damage, or disruptions.
The National Police Service was warned that looting, vandalism and any form of vandalism of property, blocking roads and provoking officers who are out to maintain law and order shall be met with firm lawful action.
