Kenya: Teachers to protest in Mombasa on May 23

Event

The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has called for a protest in Mombasa on May 23 over a government's proposed housing tax. Participants will gather from 09:00 at Pembe Za Ndovu and march towards Treasury Square; the action is due to end at around 10:00. Organizers have notified police forces.

Heightened security and localized ground travel disruptions are likely along the march route. Clashes with security forces cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the protest sites and the march route on May 23. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Abide by all directives issued by security forces.
