The Nairobi Business Community has urged a reconsideration of planned demonstrations in the capital, led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, citing concerns over economic disruption and public safety. They emphasize that while respecting the right to peaceful assembly, Nairobi should not bear the economic burden of political tensions from other regions.

• Over many traders are already operating under difficult economic conditions.
• The main organization involved is the Nairobi Business Community, with chairperson Nelson Githaiga.
• They suggest protests related to the Nyeri events would be more appropriately held in Witima, rather than Nairobi.
