On social media Tuesday morning, drivers on Mombasa Road bemoaned a severe congestion.
Our correspondent observed a traffic build-up from Athi River, Kitengela, Mlolongo towards Nairobi during a spot check.
One driver stated on social media, “As you head towards the CBD, there is a road block at Mlolongo.”
The rather dense police presence on the busy highway coincides with the anticipated arrival of demonstrators in Nairobi’s streets.
“Police officers put up road blocks early Tuesday morning. I spotted several road blocks as early as 5 a.m.,” another added.
There will be youth protests against the Finance Bill 2024, with participants expected to come from around the nation.
The police will maintain their neutrality while being stern, Kenyans were reassured earlier by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.
“The National security organs of our country shall remain neutral, apolitical but firm in enforcing the law of our country and no form of lawlessness is going to be entertained whatsoever.
