Heavily armed police officers were deployed to Nairobi's Central Business District CBD on Tuesday, April 21, to disperse protesters demonstrating against recent fuel price hikes.

Water cannons were also positioned in select streets. Nairobi police chief Issa Mohamud stated that the planned demonstrations, called by opposition leader Rigathi Gachagua and Gen Z activists, were unlawful as the National Police Service had not received the mandatory 14-day advance notification for public gatherings.
