On 25 June 2026, families of victims killed during the June 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests, together with civil society organisations, youth activists, and opposition leaders, gathered to commemorate those who lost their lives and to demand justice, accountability, and transparency in the government’s protest victims compensation programme. The demonstrations marked two years since security forces opened fire on protesters outside parliament during nationwide protests against the Finance Bill, resulting in the deaths of at least 60 people and injuries to many others. While the government has since announced a compensation programme estimated at KSh2 billion, victims’ families and civil society organisations continue to raise concerns over the lack of transparency surrounding the process and the absence of accountability for those responsible for the killings, among other concerns.
