However, acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has warned that the planned anti-government demonstrations that is going to take place on Thursday could be infiltrated by goons.
He said that criminal forces have infiltrated the Gen Z-led rallies known as the 'NaneNaneMarch', posing a threat to national security.
Masengeli, on the other hand, claimed that they had adequate security staff to deal with any eventuality.
“Already, our intelligence reports indicate that there are heightened security threats to the country, with criminals planning to infiltrate tomorrow’s demonstrations and commit further crimes," he said.
"In anticipation, we have ensured adequate deployment of security personnel. However, members of public are advised to take extra caution while in crowded areas that are likely to turn riotous,” he added.
Nevertheless, the police boss said Kenyans have rights to demonstrate peacefully but officers will not hesitate to engage individuals who will be out to cause chaos.
Masengeli lamented that the past protests have been peaceful before they were infiltrated by unknown goons.
