Maraga, now leading the United Green Movement and eyeing a
2027 presidential run, joined a peaceful procession along Lang'ata Road against
a Kenya Wildlife Service proposal to clear 76 acres of the park for a
1,300-vehicle lot as part of a Sh42 billion Bomas of Kenya expansion.
Activists from groups
like the Green Belt Movement warn it threatens habitats for lions, rhinos, and
giraffes in Kenya's only urban national park, while KWS insists the licensed
project improves animal welfare standards.
Videos captured plainclothes and uniformed officers dispersing the group, detaining Maraga and others at Lang'ata Police Station amid backlash from Amnesty Kenya and calls for protest rights.
