Kitengela remained largely calm on Thursday morning despite heightened tension and heavy police deployment ahead of planned commemorations marking the second anniversary of the June 25, 2024 Gen Z protests.
The town, which has in recent months emerged as a hotspot for anti-government demonstrations, experienced a significant slowdown in business activity as many traders opted to keep their premises closed over fears of possible unrest.
Police officers were deployed in large numbers across major streets and strategic locations within the town.
