Kenyans on Thursday, June 25, woke up to deserted towns and empty streets as the country commemorated the second anniversary of the June 2024 Gen Z protests.
Major towns across the country recorded low activity as police mounted roadblocks and deployed heavily ahead of planned protests and memorial events.
In Nairobi County, police cordoned off roads leading to the central business district and erected barbed-wire barricades on roads approaching Parliament.
