JAKARTA - Kenyan police warned protesters not to go to the main airports of the capital and its surroundings. Meanwhile, airport operators asked passengers to arrive hours before the flight due to increased security checks.

Youth-led protests across Kenya against proposed tax increases continue, even after President William Ruto lifted the law at the end of June.

After firing all of his ministers, President Ruto reiterated several ministerial layoffs to enter the new cabinet.

A number of protesters have moved long marches to the airport. Activists say they want Ruto to resign and call for reforms to eradicate corruption and address poor governance and services in central and local governments.

"The protesters must avoid entering the restricted areas, including airports", said Kenyan Police Chief, Douglas Kanja.

Kenya Airport Authority advises passengers using Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to arrive earlier than usual.
