Police have barricaded roads near Supreme Court ahead of the release of the full judgment of the nullified presidential polls. This comes a day after Chief Justice David Maraga complained that the IG Joseph Boinnet had ignored their calls to beef up their security.
Police are now turning away pedestrians and motorists near the court. The Supreme Court Judges are expected to read the ruling from 10 am.
Yesterday, a group of Jubilee supporters blocked the entrance to the court for hours accusing judges of “stealing their alleged victory”.
Meanwhile, police have warned demonstrators against blocking major roads in protest against or for the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, Jubilee supporters blocked Nairobi-Nakuru highway, at Maimahiu and Nyeri-Karatina road in protest against the Supreme Court ruling that nullified the presidential polls of August 8.
Police are now under instructions to disperse any group blocking roads. Chaos broke out outside Supreme Court in Nairobi when police used tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters that had blocked the entrance for almost six hours. There are fears similar chaos may break out today.
