Dozens of Kenyans marched to the Parliament building Thursday to mark two years since at least 60 people died in anti-government protests, as police set up roadblocks to prevent access to the capital, Nairobi. Families whose loved ones died in the 2024 protests that were triggered by tax increases said they were protesting delayed justice and a lack of transparency in compensating the victims, after the government promised reparations. President William Ruto last week said that the protest would be allowed but the government would also protect schoolchildren and workers and warned against any attempts by the demonstrators to “shut down the country.” Police erected roadblocks on all major highways around Nairobi, blocking motorists from accessing the city. The Parliament building were barricaded and businesses were closed.
