The Ministry of Interior has announced that several roads in Nairobi will remain closed on Thursday afternoon.

In a statement issued on Thursday June 10, Nairobi Regional Commander James Kianda said this will allow easy movement to and from Parliament, during the reading of the Budget.

“In order to facilitate ease of movement during budget reading for Members of Parliament and Senate as well as executives from Treasury, the following roads will be closed between 1:00pm and 5:30pm: Parliament Road, Harambee Avenue, Taifa Road and City Hall Way. Motorists are advised to find alternative routes,” read Kianda’s statement.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani is scheduled to present the 2021/22 Budget Policy Statement in Parliament at around 3:15pm.

In the Budget Finance Bill that was presented to Parliament for consideration, a Sh3.63 trillion budget was proposed, which the CS said will strike a balance between stimulating economic recovery and responding to the health challenges caused by the Cocid-19 pandemic.
