Demonstrations have been banned in the central business districts of three major Kenyan cities.
The cities include the capital Nairobi, Mombasa and the opposition stronghold of Kisumu.
The minister of internal security, Fred Matiang’i, said protest organisers would be held personally liable for any damage caused.
There has been growing tension in the country since the Supreme Court annulled the results of August’s presidential election.
The main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, has announced his withdrawal from a planned re-run and his supporters have been holding regular protests.
