Speaking on Friday, Nairobi County Police Commander Adamson Bungei says the government has designated the roads as red zones to allow the summit to proceed smoothly without interfering with its planned activities.
He said Harambee Avenue, Taifa Road, including Reinsurance Plaza, and the sunken parking are among the red zones.
