Participants of a memorial concert, set to take place at Uhuru Park on Sunday, have erected crosses bearing the names of protest victims as a tribute to those who lost their lives during recent demonstrations. The event, known as the Shujaaz Memorial Concert, aims to mourn and honor those who died advocating for their cause.

Video footage obtained by the Star showed attendees placing numerous white crosses adorned with the names of the deceased, painted in black. Thousands of Gen Zs and Millennials are expected to gather at Uhuru Park in the afternoon for the concert. The organizers, led by activist Boniface Mwangi, have confirmed that the event will commence at noon and conclude at 7 pm.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, who approved the use of Uhuru Park for the memorial, has announced his intention to attend the concert. Prior to the main event, a prayer session is scheduled at the nearby All Saints Cathedral.

As a precautionary measure, police presence has been increased across various parts of the city, including Parliament, State House, and major thoroughfares, to ensure public safety and prevent any potential criminal activities.

Others are DJ Double Trouble, Field Marshall Band, Njerae, DJ Lordiwn, MC Kwambix, MC Kibunja and MC Njoria among others.
