Police have banned anti-government protests in Nairobi's Central Business District and surrounding areas, citing difficulties in enforcing safety protocols due to the leaderless approach of the protesters.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 17, Acting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja said they have credible intelligence that organised criminal groups are planning to take advantage of the ongoing protests to carry out attacks, including looting.
