Anxiety is high in Nairobi and various parts of the country in anticipation of the youth-led protests set to take place on Thursday.
The demonstrators have vowed to stage a daring march to State House as the climax of a seven-day protest to express their anger and dissatisfaction with the current government of President William Ruto.
After the deadly rallies witnessed on Tuesday when the protestors invaded Parliament in protest of the Finance Bill 2024, security teams appear determined to thwart any attempt to access the House on the Hill.
Elite security teams have sealed off all roads leading to State House with military deployment spotted in Nairobi.
