Civil society groups say that despite the arrests, demonstrations and a planned sit-down outside the parliament buildings will continue.
Nairobi Police Commander Adamson Bungei on Tuesday said no group had been granted permission to protest in the capital. The right to peaceful protests is guaranteed in Kenya’s constitution but organizers are required to notify the police beforehand. Police generally give a go-ahead unless there are security concerns.
Police hurled tear gas canisters at hundreds of demonstrators on Tuesday, forcing businesses to close for fear of looting temporarily.

I love this quote from certified baddass Wanjohi Gachie,
“I’m requesting the police not to arrest or beat us because we are fighting for their rights as well.”
