The National Police has scaled up security checks on all roads leading to the House on the Hill, State House, following reports of a planned demonstration targeting the seat of power.

Vehicle access is restricted to Arboretum Drive, State House Road, and Dennis Pritt Road, where anti-riot police are turning away motorists, boda bodas, and pedestrians.

In the Central Business District, anti-riot police are strategically stationed in trucks and patrol vehicles at key junctions.
