Kenyans defied the odds and joined other cities across the globe in ushering the new year on Thursday night.
There were festivities across the city as the world ushered in 2016, with fireworks, church services and parties across country.
On Tuesday Boinnet had stated that people had to get permits to set off fireworks during the eve of new year's celebrations.
Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet directed the order to hotel owners, individuals and other establishments on Monday evening saying the order was a measure to curb on terrorism.
"No one is allowed to set off any manner of fireworks without the necessary authorisation from the Ministry of Mining which will in turn alert the nearest police station or camp," Boinnet said in a press statement.
