On the third day of the “Rage Programme” led by Generation Z, protests in Nairobi continued with demonstrators staging peaceful demonstrations across the city. The protestors remained steadfast in their demand to reject the Finance Bill and advocate for broader changes in Kenya’s governance.

Following church services, youth from various congregations in Nairobi gathered outside the Kenya National Archives. They unified with other demonstrators who have been staging near-daily protests against the Finance Bill 2024.

Waving placards denouncing the bill and advocating resistance, they marched through the city streets, accompanied by religious and resistance songs.

Riot police monitored the peaceful demonstration, which saw minimal intervention throughout the afternoon. Earlier in the day, there was a notable turnout for a blood drive in the capital, with many responding to a call on social media by medics preparing for Tuesday’s planned protests.

Additionally, the youth-led protests extended to entertainment venues nationwide starting at 11:59 PM on Saturday night. DJs at clubs adhered to the “7 Days of Rage” programme by ceasing music and encouraging patrons to sing anti-corruption songs with their phone torches lit.

Revelers enthusiastically joined in, paying homage to Rex Kanyike Masai, a protester who lost his life after being shot during last Thursday’s anti-Finance Bill demonstrations.

Opposition leaders also participated in the nightclub protests, reiterating their commitment to opposing the Finance Bill at the committee stage.

The programme continues tomorrow with more planned activities scheduled to run until Thursday.
