Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has hailed Thursday's demonstrations as an encouraging sign, saying the protests were largely peaceful and reflected growing political maturity in the country.
In a press briefing, Murkomen noted that no widespread incidents of looting, vandalism, skirmishes, or injuries had been reported.
According to the CS, business activity continued largely as usual in most towns across the country. Families, friends of victims of past protests and members of the public also held peaceful processions in Nairobi and Mombasa.
