Multi-agency teams hold meetings Ahead of Tuesday Planned Protest Outside Parliament: Meetings are underway, to plan how to handle the planned protest outside Parliament in Nairobi to oppose the Finance Bill, 2024.
The protest dubbed Occupy Parliament is planned for Tuesday June 18 when the Bill is expected to be tabled in the House.
The voting on the Bill is however, expected to be on Thursday, June 20.
According to posters circulating online,, the organisers have already notified the authorities of the plans to hold the protest.
The teams have been meeting at police headquarters and Nairobi Area police command separately.
A final meeting was planned on Monday to know the way forward amid plans to block some roads near Parliament.
There are fears the protesters may block the Members of Parliament from accessing the House, police said adding there will be deployment of anti-riot teams.
However, Boniface Mwangi who is one of the organisers refuted the claims saying their protest will be peaceful to pass a message to the legislators.
“We have marshals who will guide the group. Police should have called us to plan together on how we will conduct the business because this issue will also affect them,” he said.
Nairobi police commander Adamson Bungei said they do not know what the group wants and that they fear they will disrupt businesses.
“We are aware and are planning how to handle the situation,” he said.
