As Kenya enters the week of commemorating the 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests, demonstrations that were largely driven by Gen Z youth, religious leaders and citizens continue to share their views on the anniversary.

Retired AIPCA Archbishop Julius Njoroge has urged Kenyans who will take part in the commemorative activities on June 25, 2026 to maintain peace and avoid any actions that could lead to unrest.

He also called on security agencies, including the police, to respect the rights of demonstrators by allowing them to express themselves freely and participate in the commemoration peacefully.

The retired archbishop further urged politicians to refrain from making statements that could incite division or chaos in the country.

He appealed to political leaders to conduct their activities in a manner that promotes unity, peace and national development.

The call was echoed by Kandara politician Papa Murigi, who said that young people should turn out to mark the anniversary in recognition of the efforts made in 2024 to fight for the rights of Kenyans.

Murigi said every Kenyan has the right to express themselves and participate in public activities peacefully without causing violence or disorder.
