The streets of Nairobi’s central business district remained largely deserted on Monday morning ahead of planned protests.

This comes as police blocked Kenyans from accessing the CBD at various entry points.

Several motorists were turned away, with many being advised to work from home.

The move goes against a directive issued by Public Service CS Geoffrey Ruku, which required all public servants to report to work.

However, according to Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Gilbert Masengeli, movement into the city remains unrestricted.

Speaking on Monday, Masengeli urged citizens to adhere to the rule of law and conduct any demonstrations peacefully.

"Everyone is getting to work without any issues. No one is being turned away," he said.

"We are urging everyone to ensure their protests remain peaceful."

Kenyan youths had mobilised to hold Saba Saba protests.
