Kenyans Urged to Choose Dialogue Over June 25 Protests

A campaign using hashtags like #TuilindeKenyaYetu pushes Kenyans to skip planned June 25 demonstrations marking the 2024 Finance Bill uprising, which killed at least 22 and injured hundreds after youth stormed Parliament.

 The new Finance Bill 2026, recently passed 122-40, adjusts taxes on imports and rentals to raise KSh 98.5 billion; supporters see it as fair after public input, while critics decry the burden amid high costs.

Gen Z organizers vow peaceful county-wide marches for justice and reforms, but leaders like Senator John Methu and MPs urge waiting for 2027 elections, with police and officials warning against any violence.
