Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja risks a jail term if found guilty of deliberately defying High Court orders.
The Katiba Institute has filed contempt of court proceedings against Kanja for mounting police roadblocks and razor-wire barricades on major roads in Nairobi during Thursday's third anniversary of Gen Z protests.
The lobby says the National Police Service violated existing court orders issued last year barring unlawful road closures without prior notice to the public.
