In response to ongoing protests, High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi has granted the state permission to extend the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) for an additional two days. This extension aims to support the police in maintaining order during the turbulent demonstrations sparked by the controversial Finance Bill 2024.
The government is anticipated to provide further details on the exact duration of this deployment and the specific areas that will be targeted for military assistance. As the situation evolves, the extended presence of the KDF will play a crucial role in bolstering the efforts of law enforcement to manage the protests and ensure public safety. The government’s forthcoming details will shed more light on the strategic approach to addressing the current unrest.
