Protests have erupted in Nairobi this Thursday as citizens march towards Parliament in opposition to the controversial Adani deal and to demand better governance.
Protesters are accusing the government of prioritizing foreign corporate interests at the expense of local economic stability.
The demonstration is being marked by chants calling for transparency, justice, and accountability. Many view the Adani deal as symbolic of broader mismanagement and corruption in resource allocation, further deepening public frustration.
The protesters, drawn from diverse groups including civil society organizations, youth movements, and opposition supporters, are voicing their dissatisfaction with what they describe as “bad governance.”
Specific grievances include the rising cost of living, perceived neglect of local businesses, and a lack of inclusive policymaking.
Their message is clear: the government must address these issues or face growing resistance from the people.
Key routes in Nairobi’s CBD, including those leading to Parliament, have seen heightened activity as marchers block roads and disrupt normal operations.
Businesses have been advised to remain closed, and there is a heavy police presence in the area.
Security forces have been deployed to manage the situation, with reports indicating that tensions are escalating in some spots as protestors push forward.
This protest highlights a growing trend of civic activism in Kenya, where citizens are increasingly vocal about holding their leaders accountable.
The Adani deal appears to have ignited a larger conversation about governance, resource management, and public welfare.
As the march unfolds, it reflects a critical moment in Kenya’s democratic process, with citizens demanding that their voices be heard and their needs prioritized.
Temperatures are rising within Nairobi City CBD despite the chilly weather!
