In Kenya, protests that had been banned took place, resulting in the police deploying tear gas to disperse crowds gathered at Kamukunji grounds in the capital city of Nairobi. The event was anticipated to feature a speech by opposition leader Raila Odinga, addressing his supporters.
Livestreamed footage from the scene captured stage technicians hastily attending to their equipment amidst the commotion.
As a consequence of the demonstrations, a portion of the Nairobi expressway, a significant multimillion-dollar infrastructure project, had to be temporarily closed, according to the management company overseeing its operations.
Various videos circulating on social media depict a group of individuals engaging in acts of vandalism targeting the road.
It is an ongoing situation that highlights the tensions and challenges surrounding the protests in Kenya, as well as the efforts made to maintain public safety and security during such events.
