• The protest which is believed to be funded by an influential figure, has stirred lots of reactions from the common mwananchi.

A group of Kenyans have been seen riding motorcycles and carrying placards in Nairobi's CBD, protesting against tomorrow's planned demonstrations.

The protest, reportedly backed by an influential figure, has sparked reactions among ordinary citizens. One of the placards read 'Allow your parents to work in the CBD,' held by some youths as they marched through town.

There was a noticeable presence of police officers in the streets of Nairobi, but unlike previous protests, no tear gas canisters, live bullets, or stones were used against the demonstrators, raising questions about the authenticity of today's protest.

Here's what netizens had to say about the group:

@nimrodnickshado.collins: This was a show 😂😂 @memes_arena254: And that girl was about to give me her number then we got tear gassed. Don't miss out on Tuesday.
