Nairobi Region Police Commander Adamson Bungei has dismissed any plan to organize protests in Nairobi today, saying no one applied for a gathering or picketing permit as expected.

According to Citizen Digital, Bungei said they received a 'faulty' document dated June last year, which doesn't meet the protest permission threshold.
Further, he said they have mobilized officers to ensure that any gathering is dispersed instantly in the CBD.

This comes as activists led by Boniface Mwangi have already issued an elaborate plan for the protest dubbed 'Occupy Parliament' against the Finance Bill 2024.

On Monday, flyers were being distributed in the central business district urging citizens to “rise against over-taxation by Zakayo,” a reference to the moniker Kenyans gave President William Ruto over his tax push since he took office in 2022.

Activist Boniface Mwangi told journalists on Monday that the protest will start at 11 a.m., before Parliament’s session at 2 p.m.

Per the posters circulated on social media, protesters will be dressed in black, and a code of conduct has been issued calling for, among others, staying calm, as well as refraining from violence, abusive language, and destruction of property.
