Kenya police fire tear gas, arrest ex-chief justice at national park protest
Kenyan police used tear gas and arrested at least nine individuals, including former Chief Justice David Maraga, during a protest against development plans within Nairobi National Park. The demonstrators were opposing the construction of facilities like a 1,000-vehicle parking area, which they argue will encroach on the protected wildlife space. Maraga stated he was arrested while attempting to deliver a petition regarding the safeguarding of national heritage and the environment. AI
