Heavy security was on Wednesday deployed in Nairobi ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta's State of the Nation address.
Police and their sniffer dogs were deployed at Parliament in the morning to scrutinise those getting into the premises or passing near it.
There were also reports of House business being disrupted before and during the president's speech.
Last year, the president's speech was interrupted by MPs blowing whistles and this year, a number from the National Super Alliance legislators have vowed to skip the event on claims that the president will not w=say anything good.
These included Jakoyo Midiwo, Junet Mohamed, Chris Wamalwa, John Mbadi, and Timothy Bosire.
"We will listen to him keenly. We will then sit as a caucus to draft a response to his address on Monday next week," Junet said.
Uhuru is expected to brief the nation on his government's achievements.
