Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49621, member: 636"] Police chiefs told Kenyans to stay calm during Monday protests. Officers promised to protect people and property across the country. They said citizens can march and complain to government leaders. The cops warned protesters must follow all laws during demonstrations. Violence and weapons will bring quick arrests and legal trouble. Security forces banned people from entering government buildings. Anyone trying to break into protected areas faces immediate punishment. Protesters cannot carry guns, knives or other dangerous items. Blocking roads and destroying shops will trigger serious criminal charges. Police said they will use force against rioters and troublemakers. Some politicians blasted officers for attacking peaceful marchers. These leaders accused cops of watching criminals hurt innocent protesters. Citizens have been marching to demand justice for last year's victims. People want government officials to answer for their mistakes. The protests started because of real problems with how leaders run the country. Nairobi lawmakers begged young people to avoid political tricks. They warned that sneaky politicians want to hijack the Saba Saba demonstrations. Criminal gangs have started joining peaceful marches and causing chaos. Shops have been robbed and businesses burned down during recent protests. The lawmakers said dangerous tribal talk has spread through the streets. The Monday march honors Saba Saba Day traditions in Kenya. Police promised to act professionally during the demonstrations. Officers said they will only use force against violent crowds. Citizens still have the right to peacefully complain about government problems. Everyone must stay within legal limits during the protests. [/QUOTE]
