What you need to know:

  • Welcome to our live blog. Today, June 25, 2025, marks one year since Kenyans nationwide rose to reject the Finance Bill. The bill was rejected, and the cabinet was reshuffled. 
    To mark this anniversary, young people have organised a peaceful protest as part of a National Day of Remembrance, to honour the lives lost during the original protests and to renew their call for justice.
  • This blog will document today's protests.
