“At the crack of dawn, police established stations throughout the Nairobi metropolitan area and city center to prevent us from carrying out our planned peaceful protests. Unfortunately, we were unable to present the petitions to the four offices due to the chaos.

“Despite these developments, we are encouraged by the Kenyans’ resolve to reclaim their nation. We advance. Tomorrow, we will take a break to regroup and strategize. Our demonstrations will resume on May 4th. Same meeting, office, and individuals, she added.
