Thousands of Kiambu residents are walking from Kiambu town to Nairobi city to join other protestors in the nationwide Gen Z demonstrations.

The youths congregated at 8 am at ACK St. James church, where a short service was conducted and prayers led by Canon Geoffrey Mungai.

The peaceful protesters then proceeded to Kirigiti centre and eventually Kiambu town, where they made rounds in the streets before pouring into Kiambu road on the way to Nairobi.

Police officers dotted all over the town kept a keen eye as the peaceful protestors walked, ensuring they didn’t engage in destruction of property.

Kimani said they had no intention of engaging with police officers, despite reports indicating that a blockade has been set up at Muthaiga that may bar them from joining Thika Road.

“We want to be allowed to proceed to Nairobi because we are not going there to do anything harmful. This is our constitutional right. We are determined to straighten up this country because so many things have been going wrong,” he said.

The procession has paralysed transport services along the busy road.
