Government cites demonstrators’ lawless for this sweeping measure.

Having withdrawn from the re-run presidential election, opposition leader  Raila Odinga calls for daily protests next week to keep up pressure on election officials.

Security Minister Fred Matiangi maintains there is a clear, present and imminent danger of a breach of the peace.

Police have been notified that for the time being, demonstrations won’t be allowed within the central business districts of Kenya’s three largest cities.

Hundreds of opposition supporters have marched in recent weeks, sometimes burning tyres and clashing with police who have used teargas to disperse crowds.

Kenya has a recent history of deadly political violence.
