Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko appeared irate as a group of youths made their way into Uhuru Park.
The crowd wore red t-shirts bearing Sonko’s name as other carried banners with a “Sonko Defence Forces” phrase.
The rowdy crowd was quickly dispersed by officers present during the Labour Day Celebrations.
