Ghana’s High Commissioner to Kenya, Damptey Bediako Asare, has cautioned Ghanaians about travelling to Kenya to hold on due to escalating protests.
According to Mr. Asare, Ghanaians travelling to Kenya, either for tourism, business, or any other purpose, should stay informed about what is happening and avoid travelling to the country.
He said,
“Those planning to travel to Kenya in the coming days should contact travel agents or airlines for guidance and advice. If you are already in the country, our advice is that you keep updated with the latest news, particularly from local news outlets and international news platforms. It is advisable to avoid protest areas if you are in Kenya.”
This follows a report of protesters having launched what they call “7 Days of Rage,” with street marches against the controversial finance bill proposing new tax hikes.
Initially peaceful, the protests turned violent on Tuesday as security forces clashed with protesters who vandalised state properties and attacked the Parliament building in Nairobi.
