Police on Tuesday defied court order on dealing with protestors, lobbying teargas along various Nairobi streets.
The High Court sitting in Malindi on Friday issued temporary orders stopping security agencies from using water canons and tear gas against persons protesting against the Finance Bill, 2024.
Justice Mugure Thande said police should also not use any live ammunition, rubber bullets or other cruse weapons or any form of violence against protestors until a case filed by Former Azimio leader Saitabao Ole Kanchory is determined.
But on Tuesday, police lobbed tear gas canisters at protestors who had assembled at Tom Mboya Street.
Several other security personnel were also seen manning the city streets armed with sophisticated weapons.
While there were no water cannons on the streets, the same were strategically positioned around State House.
