Police Deny Notice Stopping Thursday Protests
The National Police Service (NPS) on Wednesday, November 20, denied a notice circulating on social media purporting to show that the police will not allow any protests in Nairobi on Thursday.
In a post on their X account, the police clarified to the public that the statement was fiction, flagging it as fake.
“We wish to caution the general public that the document circulating on social media, claiming to be from NPS, is malicious and fake. The document is from unscrupulous impostors with criminal intent,” the police announced.
The document in question was a notice in response to a notice indicating police had not issued any permits for protests, which, according to posts online, are slated to happen on Thursday, November 21, around Parliament. The protests were seemingly in response to President Willaim Ruto’s State of the Nation Address on the same day and venue as the protests.
