The Judiciary has decided to keep all courts open during Thursday’s planned anti-government protests led by Kenyan youth.
This decision follows a resolution by the Judiciary Leadership Team (JLT), which emphasized that courts will remain operational while ensuring safety and security.
The JLT has also announced plans to use technology and virtual courts to maintain justice services during the protests.
“To uphold the Constitution, the Judiciary Leadership Team has resolved that courts will remain open,” the statement read.
The JLT urged both protesters and security agencies to strictly follow the Constitution and the law during the demonstrations and enforcement activities.
They assured the public that the Judiciary Police Unit, working with local police, is dedicated to securing court facilities and ensuring the safety of court users and staff.
The protests, set for Thursday and known as ‘Nanenane,’ have been organized by youth using social media platforms like X, WhatsApp, TikTok, and Instagram.
The #NaneNanemarch aims to demand greater transparency in governance.
Social media banners have also mentioned plans to target a major government facility during the protests.
This marks the third consecutive month of anti-government demonstrations by the youth, which began on June 18 and included an occupation of Parliament on June 25.
On August 6, Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli assured the public that police are prepared to maintain peace during the ‘NaNenane’ march.
“Every Kenyan has the right to demonstrate, picket, and assemble as allowed by the law. We are aware of this, and where one person’s rights end, another’s begin,” Masengeli stated.
He also urged the police to adopt innovative strategies to address emerging threats such as cybercrime, terrorism, violent extremism, and banditry.
