With the June 25 protests now gearing up in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD), major roads have been cordoned off with razor wire.

Roads affected include Parliament Road and State House Road, which have been blocked with tape as the protests are expected to escalate.

Anti-riot officers have been deployed around the city to manage the situation. The roads have been cordoned off because the protestors announced plans to occupy and march to the State House.
