Police mount roadblocks along main city roads, block entry into Nairobi CBD

Armed police have mounted roadblocks on major roads leading into the Nairobi city centre, with matatus mostly being flagged down for inspection apparently amid security concerns that protestors could be commuting into Nairobi. 

Along Thika road, one of the police checks is near Vincentian Retreat Centre, just after the entry into the highway from Thika town, and another after Safari Park for Nairobi-bound traffic.  

And along Jogoo Road, there is a police checkpoint near the town stadium.   

Meanwhile, all roads leading to State House, including Dennis Pritt and and Aboretum roads, were also blocked by armed police. They were dotted by several police checkpoints, with any motorist wanting to pass through expected to go through an inspection first.
