Thika Road, which normally experiences heavy traffic as people get into the city, had few vehicles and pedestrians.

Police have Thursday morning heightened security in Nairobi's central business district ahead of the anticipated Nane Nane protests.

In the morning, there was low traffic along major roads and streets in the city.

Thika Road, which normally experiences heavy traffic as people get into the city, had few vehicles and pedestrians.

City traders who open their businesses early also kept off the CBD, with many shops along streets such as Tom Mboya, Moi Avenue and Luthuli Avenue remaining closed.

Anti-riot police officers were also patrolling the streets, some in vehicles as others stood at the junctions of streets in the city.

Several police vehicles were stationed on Kimathi Street and Kenyatta Avenue, which have been the epicentre of confrontations between the police and protesters. Some officers could be seen instructing public transport vehicles to stop dropping passengers near the I&M Building on Kenyatta Avenue.
