The government has announced plans to relocate the iconic Kenya National Archives from its current location within the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), citing security risks.

According to the government, the decision was informed by the recent youthful protests within the city, where some of the protesters reportedly made attempts to torch the building.

Addressing the press on Thursday, August 21, Gender and Culture Principal Secretary Ummi Bashir revealed the government’s intention to move the building from the city centre to a safer, quieter and more accessible location
