Protesters in Nairobi on Thursday cheered the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officers as they made their way into the Nairobi Central Business District.
In videos seen by the Star, KDF officers who were aboard their vehicles made their way through Tom Mboya Street where they met the protesters.
They then started cheering as they escorted the officers who were on patrol.
The KDF officers have been patrolling the City since Thursday morning.
This comes after Members of Parliament on Wednesday morning approved the deployment of Kenya Defence Forces officers within the country to restore order after deadly protests.
The House voted to approve a motion by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah hours after Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale gazetted their KDF deployment.
The soldiers will support the Kenya Police Service to restore normalcy across the country after anti-Finance Bill protests turned tragic on Tuesday.
