Anti-government protesters on Wednesday took over Thika Road, rendering the road impassable.
This is a protest in remembrance of those killed during the June 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests across the country.
While protestors engaged police in running battles in other areas of the city, Thika Road was not left out.
Videos seen by the Star showed stones placed on a section of the road, cutting both sides.
The protesters also set up fires on both sides of the road.
Police officers dispatched to maintain order were met with hostile protestors who hurled stones at them.
In response, they hurled teargas canisters at the crowd, which only ran away from the teargas but kept coming back.
The crowd is currently marching towards the central business district.
In one instance, anti-riot police at the scene were forced to try to clear the bonfires from the road.
No motorists are currently using the road.
Protests are currently ongoing in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisii, among other areas.
Kisumu has, however, remained calm, and business is going on as usual.
