David Maraga

David Maraga, the former Chief Justice of Kenya, was recently arrested alongside other protesters demonstrating against plans to build on land designated as part of the Nairobi National Park. The protesters, including Maraga, were met with tear gas by riot police outside the park's main entrance. The demonstration was against alleged plans to construct facilities, such as a car park, on protected land belonging to the wildlife sanctuary. Maraga's involvement highlights the public concern and opposition to the development, drawing attention to the issue of preserving natural and wildlife areas within the capital. His arrest, as a prominent former judicial figure, underscores the significance of the protest and the potential impact on environmental conservation efforts in Kenya.
