10:19 AM: National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi has reported in parliament that many members have been blocked off by police officers and are unable to make it to parliament for the Finance Bill debate. 

“Honorable Speaker, as you can see the House is not full and a number of members are finding it difficult to go through the police blockades to access the House.

“I’ve had to struggle to the House this morning. The problem is that the entire Parliament precincts is cordoned off by people who appear to be police officers,” he said. 

However, Speaker Moses Wetangula has said that he has asked the clerk to check with police to keep him informed on any updates and allow him to act against any intimidation and negative pressure. 

10:20 AM: Residents of Thika town have showed up for protests with vuvuzela as they sing ‘Yote yawezekana bila Ruto’ song, joining other protestors in different parts of the country including Nanyuki, Nyeri, Meru, Kisii, Nakuru, Kakamega and Kisumu. 

11:00 AM: Journalists blocked from accessing Parliament Road in Nairobi CBD ahead of the planned protest.

11:40 AM: Presidential Aspirant Ruben Kagame joins protestors in Eldoret town. 11:40 AM: Protestors in Eldoret bring down a popular UDA wheelbarrow mounted within the CBD.

The Wheelbarrow was mounted in support of President William Ruto’s campaign during the 2022 general elections.
