Kenyans are set to march nationwide on the anniversary of last year's deadly protests. Activists, families of victims, and young people mobilized in memory of those killed during demonstrations against tax hikes, which escalated into violence. The protests led to significant casualties and calls for reform and President Ruto's resignation. Although a cabinet restructuring and the repeal of the finance bill followed, public resentment remains high due to ongoing issues like corruption and recent police brutality incidents, fueling mistrust in the government.
Public anger erupted as Kenyans, still feeling the effects of last year’s protests, mourn those killed while advocating for reforms against police brutality, corruption and excesses.
As many Kenyans prepare to march, opposition leaders label the day a public holiday, reflecting continued discontent with President Ruto's administration and the deterioration of public trust.
