A section of Azimio leaders said the responsibility for mobilising mass rallies had been taken away from Azimio’s top brass. He added State House being a vital installation, there was a need for periodic security checks around. Dozens of armed police officers on Wednesday laid roadblocks on roads leading to State House in Nairobi ahead of the planned protests. Police were deployed with spikes at various points on major roads including State House Road, State House Avenue, Processional Way and Dennis Pritt where they briefly stopped and questioned motorists. The officers said they were then under instructions not to allow the motorcyclists as they could be used to ferry crowds to State House for the protests.
