One year after violent anti-Ruto protests resulted in deadly clashes at Kenya’s parliament, security forces have taken heightened measures to ensure the safety of government buildings, including the deployment of razor wire. The decision follows concerns over the potential for similar incidents during the planned march commemorating the anniversary of the event.
Authorities have also ordered broadcasters to stop live coverage of the march, citing the need to maintain public order and prevent the escalation of tensions. This move has sparked discussions about the balance between free speech and national security in Kenya, as citizens prepare to remember the tragic events that unfolded a year prior.
