Hundreds of Kenyan Gen Z stormed the streets on Thursday, June 12, demanding the resignation of Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat and subsequently charged over claims he was involved in the murder of a teacher and blogger, Albert Ojwang.

During the protest, several cars were torched and other infrastructural structures destroyed within the Nairobi CBD.

The protester also threatened to cripple the reading of Budget 2025/2026 by Treasury CS John Mbadi.

Protesters marched through key areas including City Hall, Jeevanjee Gardens, and Parliament Buildings.

They also occupied critical roads such as Harambee Avenue, signalling attempts to breach the security perimeter around Parliament.
