Organizers of current Kenyan protests cite these five reasons:
1. Justice for Albert Ojwang, killed in police custody on June 8, 2025, sparking demands for accountability.
2. Commemoration of 2024 protest victims, marking the anniversary of at least 65 deaths.
3. Socioeconomic inequality, with 40% poverty and extreme wealth disparity fueling unrest.
4. Government corruption, including wasteful spending, echoing 2024 Finance Bill grievances.
5. Police brutality, with reports of excessive force, abductions, and past abuses driving distrust. https://t.co/BFoTHXdgYb
