The British Government has issued an advisory on its citizen living in Kenya.
The UK has warned its citizens to keep off areas prone to protest on Tuesday when President Uhuru Kenyatta will be sworn-in to office for a second term.
In a statement on Thursday by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), Britain warned of the contingency of peace disruption on Tuesday.
“There may be significant disruptions spreading to nearby roads. Political tensions are high and demonstrations and clashes are possible,” read part of the advisory.
It added: “You should exercise caution and, where possible, avoid travelling around areas where demonstrations may take place.”
NASA has threatened to ‘swear-in’ Raila Odinga as Kenya’s fifth President in a parallel ceremony on Tuesday.
The opposition is yet to disclose the location of their planned fete.
Yesterday, Government Spokesperson Eric Kiraithe said they are not bothered at all by NASA’s plan as long as it is done in private.
“The question of a person congregating his friends to swear him in is not an issue and has no legal concern.
“If they held it somewhere without interfering with the rights of other people, then the government would not even be concerned,” said Kiraithe.
Political party headquarters, IEBC offices across the country and large gatherings the UK has warned its citizens of being close to on Tuesday.
