Kenya Fortifies Parliament Against Citizens Two Years After Deadly Breach

On June 25, 2026, Kenyan police ringed parliament with roadblocks and razor wire as demonstrators marked the second anniversary of a 2024 breach that ended in dozens dead. The fortification signals the government's fear of repeat mobilization by Gen-Z protesters who used social media to coordinate mass demonstrations against tax increases, even as authorities announced a 2,000-victim compensation payout ten days earlier—without criminal accountability for implicated officers.
