Business activities resumed in Nanyuki town on Tuesday as traders reopened shops and residents slowly returned to their daily routines following Monday’s violent demonstrations over a proposed Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base.
Heavy police deployment was witnessed across the town, with officers patrolling major roads as authorities moved to restore order after protests that left two people dead, several injured, and disrupted transport and commerce.
However, signs of the previous day’s unrest remained visible across the town.
