[Kenya] Protests: Protest with intervention

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 30, 2025, residents in Naivasha, Nakuru County, Kenya gathered to support the former deputy president, with police dispersing the crowd using tear gas and batons. The protest appears localized with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Naivasha is positioned along major transport corridors connecting Nairobi to western Kenya, so sustained unrest could potentially affect regional logistics flows if the situation deteriorates.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other urban centers or escalation in Nakuru County
• Track any disruptions to road transport along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway if demonstrations continue
