As the country prepares to celebrate this year's Madaraka Day on June 1 at Uhuru Gardens, Police Spokesperson Bruno Shioso has assured Kenyans that there will be minimal traffic disruptions to and from the venue.
Shioso stated that movement of traffic along all roads leading to the venue will not be disrupted unless temporarily on a need basis, where vehicles will be diverted accordingly.
For dignitaries, entry to the venue is advised through Gate 3, while those who will not fit in the reserved parking space will be guided to the Uchumi supermarket parking area.
Other vehicles will be allowed to drop off passengers at the Carnivore Link road junction and park at Carnivore grounds.
“The rest of the vehicles will drop off visitors at the same junction then proceed to SwamiNarayan Temple Road and park at Ulinzi Sports Complex,” Shioso added.
President Uhuru Kenyatta's reign will come to an end with this year's Madaraka Day celebrations, which are expected to attract 30,000 Kenyans, according to Interior PS Karanja Kibicho.
President Julius Maada Wonie Bio and his wife Fatima Bio, who are in the country on a five-day state visit, are also expected to attend the event.
Interior PS Karanja Kibicho has promised a showcase by both the Kenya Police and the military that has never been experienced before.
“It will be a heavy military day; it’s good that many Kenyans come and enjoy their presentations,” Kibicho said.
