Police were on Friday forced to lob teargas canisters to disperse activists holding demonstrations in Mombasa.
The over 50 activists were forced to flee after the teargas was lobbed.
The activists had on Friday morning carried colourful placards as they chanted, 'We go! We go!' before they were dispersed by the police.
As they marched, police were seen trying to stop the group before they lobbed teargas canisters to disperse them.
This comes after the opposition leader Raila Odinga called for nationwide rallies to mark the Saba Saba Day and protest to oppose the new tax measures imposed by President William Ruto.
Bradley Ouna, activist at the Concern Citizen Kenya organization, said that the procession will start from Pembe za Ndovu to treasury square where they will hand over their petition to the county commander who will present it to the national government.
“We gave a notification of the protest that will take place on Friday to the Central police OCS who was very cooperative and gave us the go-ahead to do the protest as we also celebrate the freedom fighters of this country especially those of second liberation,” he said.
