The Judiciary of Kenya has clarified that a court order does not prevent police from erecting roadblocks but requires them to issue prior notice, following a statement from President William Ruto criticizing the orders.

• The High Court's orders stemmed from a petition by the Katiba Institute, aimed at protecting fundamental human rights under Article 23 of the Constitution.
• Justice Lawrence Mugambi emphasized that roadblocks must be preceded by public advisories to avoid disruptions.
• The order was prompted by complaints from Nairobi residents who were prevented from accessing the city center due to police roadblocks, significantly affecting movement on major roads.
