就在第五届内罗毕城市马拉松赛即将举行之际，组织者承认，周日的活动为那些对目前影响该国的各种问题不满的人士突然提出抗议提供了丰富的素材。
国家警察局（ NPS ）内罗毕地区行动负责人本杰明·鲍文（ Benjamin Bowen ）承认，考虑到最近经历的各种挑战，抗议活动是可能的。
“我们有公众示威，有时会举行纠察，抱怨说杀害妇女和儿童失踪案件现在有所增加。这一事件导致公众走上前来抗议。因此，在此类事件中，我们可能会反驳此类示威活动，” Bowen说。
他补充说： “现在甚至没有通知。当法律要求人们应该向当局发出有关此类示威活动的通知时，现在这不是问题。他们只是醒来，组装并进行演示。我已经说了一些原因，其中之一就是在莱基皮亚建立埃博拉检疫中心。这里的内罗毕也不例外，因为最近我们有一小群人试图进行这样的示威活动。”

Bowen还指出，摩托车犯罪分子抢劫以及恐怖威胁是年度公路赛事面临的一些风险。
“内罗毕的安全局势并不是很糟糕，尽管我们有一些潜在的威胁，这些威胁确实发生在任何地方。我们有街头抢劫、手机抢劫的案例，特别是那些骑摩托车的非常糟糕的人物，或者那些在道路和街道上闲逛的人，”他说。
这位安全官员补充说： “我们还有潜在的恐怖威胁，这仍然是一个国际问题，不仅仅是在肯尼亚。因此，我们呼吁每个人都要格外警惕。每当您看到任何可疑人物或可疑人员或可疑活动时，您必须向安全机构报告，以便处理此事。”
无论如何， Bowen向利益相关者保证，安全机构已准备好应对上述威胁。
他说，包括监察长（ IG ）道格拉斯·坎贾（ Douglas Kanja ）在内的所有级别的NPS都完全支持这一事件。
“我们已经做好准备，我们确信我们将充分部署。我们将得到行政警察局、交通部的官员的支持。我们还有GSU和盟友团队来处理这些问题。我们还将得到纽约州的协助，以控制人群或维持这些公共场所的秩序，” Bowen透露。
公路赛将于周日上午6:45开始，起跑线在市政厅路。
今年的赛事吸引了超过17,000名参赛者参加五类比赛，包括42公里、21公里、10公里和5公里家庭趣味跑。
原文原文 / Original TextEven as the clock ticks to the fifth edition of the Nairobi City Marathon, organisers admit that Sunday's event is rich fodder for unannounced protests by persons disgruntled with various issues presently affecting the country.
National Police Service's (NPS) Benjamin Bowen, who is the head of operations Nairobi region, admits protests are a possibility considering the various challenges that have been experienced in recent times.
"We have the public demonstrations, picketing at times, grievances being that there is now the rise in the cases of femicide and child disappearances. This one has led the members of public to come up and demonstrate against the same. So, during such events, we may counter such demonstrations," Bowen said.
He added: "It comes nowadays without even a notice. When the law requires that people should give the authorities a notice on such demonstrations, nowadays that is not a matter. They just wake up, assemble and do the demonstration. I've said some of the reasons and one of them again is just about the establishment of the Ebola quarantine center in Laikipia. Nairobi here is not exempted because recently we had a small crowd which attempted to do such a demonstration."

Bowen also identified muggings by criminals on motorcycles as well as terror threats as some of the risks facing the annual road race event.
"The security situation here in Nairobi is not very bad, though we have some potential threats, which do occur in any space. We have the cases of street robberies, mobile snatching, especially by very bad characters operating on motorcycles or those ones who just stay idle along the roads and in our streets," he said.
The security official added: "We have also the potential threat of terror, which is still an issue internationally, not in Kenya alone. So, we call upon everyone to be extra alert. Whenever you see any suspicious character or suspicious persons or suspicious activity, you must report to the security agency so that that matter can be handled."
