Tension remains high in Nairobi and other major towns across Kenya as the country braces for demonstrations by youth pushing for sweeping governance and economic reforms.
In the capital, police, who mounted roadblocks on major roads leading into the city, on Thursday, August 8, arrested scores of Nane Nane protesters and would-be protesters as they attempted to assemble on Moi Avenue, Kenyatta Avenue, Kimathi Street, Mama Ngina Street, Uhuru Highway and other roads.
