Moments after President William Ruto's impassioned address to the nation, military officers have now been deployed to all protected areas across the country.
The deployment also follows a gazette notice by Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale last night.
Among the areas now under the tight guard of KDF are State Houses which include Nairobi, Nakuru and Mombasa and also lodges across the country.
At Nakuru, they were seen lined up at the main road leading to the State House.
Military presence has also been witnessed at late Jomo Kenyatta’s mausoleum next to parliament.
Anti-finance bill protesters who breached Parliament’s barricade also destroyed property at the mausoleum including the perimeter wall.
Under the Protected Areas Act, no unauthorised entry is allowed into these areas.
Any person detained for the purpose of being searched shall be deemed to be in lawful custody in these areas.
In his address, Ruto said the demonstrations had been hijacked as he put on notice the planners, financiers, orchestrators, and abetters of violence and anarchy.
The Head of State assured Kenyans of their security saying he has directed all the organs of the national security to deploy all measures to thwart any attempts by dangerous criminals to undermine the security and stability of the country.
"I assure the nation, that the Government has mobilised all the resources at the nation’s disposal to ensure that a situation of this nature, will not recur again, at whatever cost," Ruto said.
"As the people of Kenya go to bed tonight, I give you my assurance that your security, that of your families and property, remains my utmost priority."
