- At least eleven Kenyans have been confirmed dead following the deadly Gen Z demonstrations that took place countrywide.

The Wednesday, June 25 demonstrations were meant to mark one year since the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests that left many youths dead and others missing.

The demonstrations occurred in major towns such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Bungoma and Nyeri.

As anticipated, thousands of youths took to the streets to chant anti-President William Ruto's government slogans.

Sadly, the demonstrations left several Kenyans dead, with many others seriously injured following the clash between police and protesters.

According to a report by Citizen TV, 11 people died, 400 were injured, and 61 were arrested countrywide.

The deaths, mostly from gunshot wounds, were reported in Matuu, Emali, Ongata Rongai, Embakasi, Juja, Kikuyu, Molo, Ola Kalou and Ngara.

Independent Policing Oversight Authority IPOA, in its update, said eight people died, with 207 injured, including police officers.

IPOA said it had launched investigations, given that the police allegedly shot some of those who died.

The authority has asked Kenyans to provide any information that might help identify the shooter.
