Murang’a town saw a substantial downturn in business activity Thursday morning, coinciding with the second anniversary of the 2024 anti-finance bill protests. Many businesses chose to remain closed as a precaution ahead of planned commemorative demonstrations organized by GenZ activists. Public transportation also experienced disruptions, operating with limited service. The reduced activity stemmed from concerns related to potential unrest linked to the anniversary of the protests, during which several young Kenyans lost their lives. Authorities did not immediately comment on the situation, but the economic impact was clearly visible throughout the town. The closures and transport reductions highlight the lingering sensitivity surrounding the 2024 protests and their continued impact on daily life.
