The High Court in Nairobi has issued a conservatory order barring Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja from setting up roadblocks in the Central Business District during protests without prior notice.

• The order prevents police from blocking access within the CBD, addressing violations of constitutional rights to peaceful assembly and movement.
• The petition was filed by the Katiba Institute, highlighting previous court rulings against police restrictions on protests.
• The court emphasized that police cannot cancel or disrupt peaceful assemblies or pickets without following due process.
