The newspaper reported on a bill already in the house seeking to ban the violation of key government institutions during the protest.
The protesters will be fined up to KSh 100,000 or closed for up to three months if found guilty of participating in protests in an unauthorized area if the bill in parliament is passed by law.
The Public Law Amendment Bill, 2025, funded by Nairobi Women’s Representative Esther Passaris, proposes to appoint three areas where protesters will not be allowed to hold public meetings or protests.
According to the bill, these sites are: within 100 meters of Parliament buildings, reservoirs (such as palaces) and court buildings.
If the bill is a law, the Secretary of the interior cabinet, in consultation with the county government, will be able to appoint specific areas in the capitals where the protests will take place.
This means that protesters will have to gather in those areas, and if they have complaints, their leaders will meet them to listen to them.
The bill states that anyone who violates these terms will be convicted of a criminal offense and, found guilty, will be fined not exceeding KSh 100,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three months or both.
However some MPs have begun to express their concerns about the bill saying it is difficult to implement practically in Kenya.
Nyakach MP, Aduma Owuor, said the law would not solve the fundamental problems of the protesters, while the MP Kisumu West, Rosa Buyu, saying the isolation of a specific protest area reduces the force of the protest.
