Police in Kenya have announced enhanced security measures, including checkpoints across Nairobi, ahead of planned Saba Saba protests.The National Police Service (NPS) stated that these checkpoints aim to regulate movement and prevent violence, citing past incidents during the annual commemorations.Activists insist they will proceed with the demonstrations despite warnings from authorities.

Organizers say the protests are meant to honor Kenya's democratic struggle while demanding accountability for issues like alleged abductions and governance concerns.Police Commander Issa Mohamud warned that any unauthorized gathering would be treated as unlawful, emphasizing strict enforcement of laws.The measures follow last year's Saba Saba protests, which led to business closures due to fears of violence.The anniversary of the 1990 pro-democracy protests remains a key platform for citizens to push for political reforms and accountability.Both sides are preparing for potential clashes, with police vowing to maintain order and protesters determined to voice their demands.
