Police have set up roadblocks on several roads leading into the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), restricting access for both private and public service vehicles. This action comes ahead of planned protests to commemorate the Gen Z anniversary.

In Kisumu, normal business activities persisted with public transport running smoothly, despite heightened police presence in various areas. This comes as Nairobi experiences a significant security lockdown in anticipation of memorial protests related to Gen Z.

On June 25, security agencies implemented measures in Nairobi aimed at preventing unrest during the anniversary of a Gen Z protest. However, these restrictions led to significant disruptions in transport and increased tensions throughout the city, according to Eastleigh Voice.

Ahead of the June 25 protests, major roads in Kenya have been blocked and there is a heavy police presence, creating a tense atmosphere. The protests are organized by Gen Z activists, civil society groups, and families of victims to commemorate the two-year anniversary of the 2024 anti-Finance Bill demonstrations, which resulted in the deaths of numerous Kenyan youth.

Police in Nairobi have sealed off key roads in anticipation of protests organized by Generation Z activists. The demonstrators are calling for justice for over 80 individuals who lost their lives during the 2024 demonstrations and last year's anniversary protests.

Many businesses in Nairobi's Central Business District remained closed due to concerns over potential looting amid protests organized by Gen Z. A morning check by Capital FM revealed that most shops had not opened, and there was a significant police presence in various key areas of the city.
