"This  morning,  we received credible intelligence indicating that certain organised criminal groups have planned to infiltrate, disrupt and destabilise the peaceful nature of the demonstrations,  potentially  compromising  the safety of  the  protesters,"  Acting  Police  Commissioner  Douglas Kanja said in a  statement.

  Some of the  earlier  demonstrations  have  witnessed  chaotic  scenes  with widespread  attacks,  looting and  damage  to  property,  and  activists  claim  their peaceful action was hijacked by  "thugs".
 
  Human  rights  groups say 39 people have  been  killed  since  protests  began  on June 18,  and  police  have  been  accused of using excessive force against  demonstrators.
 
  Ruto,  who  is  grappling with the most serious crisis of his  nearly  two-year presidency, has sought to  appease  protesters  with a series of  measures,  including  scrapping  tax hikes,  firing  almost his entire cabinet and  promising  to cut  wasteful  government spending. 
 
  But the protest movement has  evolved  into a broader campaign against Ruto and his  government,  demanding  action against corruption and justice for victims of alleged police brutality.
