A showdown looms Thursday in various parts of the country as police plan to confront groups of the “Occupy Parliament” protesters.
In Nairobi, for instance, a heavy contingent of police was seen in various streets of the Central Business District and around Parliament Buildings as early as 6 am.
The protesters, mostly the young generation have vowed to march in various parts of the country to oppose the Finance Bill 2024.
They indicated they would continue with the protests on Thursday in various towns even as police termed the marches illegal.
Activist Boniface Mwangi who is one of the organisers said Wednesday they were ready for the peaceful march and that they had met all the requirements.
