The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has condemned a recent police decision to restrict vehicular access to Nairobi’s Central Business District, Upper Hill, and Hurlingham, claiming it disrupts the livelihoods of countless Kenyans.
- MAK described the restrictions as a “blanket and unconstitutional prohibition” that violates the constitutional right to freedom of movement.
- The police actions come amid heightened security operations related to protests marking the June 25 anniversary of a deadly storming of Parliament.
- MAK warned that the blockade is causing critical services to be impeded and is inflicting significant economic harm on the capital.
