Hitherto, a church and group posing as the Nairobi business Community had applied to use the city’s Uhuru Park on January 30. In October 12, 2017 the Nairobi County Government released a similar directive for the closure of Uhuru Park ahead of the Mashujaa Day celebrations. The Raila-led outfit would lead their supporters in a procession from Uhuru Park to Haile Selassie, Moi and Kenyatta Avenue before returning to Uhuru Park and finally heading to the IEBC offices at Anniversary Towers. NASA ignored the directive to stay away from the park and clashed with anti-riot police during the daily demonstrations.
