Former CJ David Maraga Arrested During Nairobi National Park Protests - June 2026

Former Chief Justice David Maraga was reportedly arrested while participating in protests at Nairobi National Park, which were linked to the ongoing nationwide matatu strike. Following his dramatic arrest, David Maraga and nine other protesters have been released on a free bond. The Law Society of Kenya President Charles Kanjama strongly condemned the arrest as an act of impunity, linking it to broader concerns about constitutional rights and governance. The protests by matatu operators continue as they demonstrate against escalating fuel prices.
