The government has warned it will deploy security forces against anyone who turns violent during planned demonstrations this week to mark the second anniversary of the Gen Z protests.
This is even as it ruled out declaring June 25 a public holiday.
Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura, speaking during a press conference in Nairobi on Monday, June 22, said the right to peaceful assembly was protected under Article 37 of the Constitution but drew a firm line between lawful protest and criminal conduct.
