Police block City Hall Way ahead of occupy parliament protest

Police have blocked City Hall Way in anticipation of protests over the Finance Bill 2024, as Kenyans are expected to flood the streets of Nairobi’s Central Business District.

Photos obtained by Mpasho show a significant police presence setting up roadblocks.

Vehicles attempting to use the road are subject to inspection before being allowed to proceed. Additionally, police officers have been deployed to various parts of Nairobi, including the area around Parliament.

The protests, known as “Occupy Parliament,” aim to pressure MPs to reject the Finance Bill 2024, which many Kenyans have criticized as punitive.
