Anxiety ran high in Nairobi and various parts of the country as the youth-led protests kicked off on Thursday June 27.
This is despite the move by president William Ruto to decline signing the Finance Bill 2024.
The demonstrators have vowed to stage a daring march to State House as the climax of a seven-day protest to express their anger and dissatisfaction with the current government.
