National Hygiene Programme

NAIROBI RESIDENTS BATTLE POLICE IN VIOLENT DEMONSTRATIONS

Chaos was centered around Maringo area, where an irate mob of youth cordoned off the road by burning tyres in protest. Reports further revealed that the group belonged to the recently formed National Hygiene Programme, and that they had taken to the streets to vent their frustrations over non-payment.

Anti-riot police swiflty swung into action and engaged the rioting crowd in a bid to quell the escalating demos.

"Pesa zetu, haki yetu (Our money, our right)," the angry mob chanted during the fierce exchange.
