Nairobi Regional Police Commander George Seda Wednesday said security organs are ready for the planned June 25, 2025 demonstrations.
The protests are scheduled for Wednesday next week in remembrance of the momentous Gen Z protests of 2024.
Seda confirmed that police had received official communication from the organisers and reassured the public that the security organs were fully prepared to ensure the safety of all.
“We have the plan and we shall be there to provide enough and good security to ensure every person who is going to participate and those not going to participate will be safe, for that matter,” said Seda.
“As for June 25th, we have enhanced plans. We equally have a copy of the letter which was delivered to Central (Police Station).”
Seda urged demonstrators to conduct themselves peacefully and avoid provoking law enforcement, which he said has resulted in violence as seen in the recent demos.
“Let us restrict ourselves to what we call peaceful demonstrations.
Let us not have demonstrations which are going to interfere with other people who may not be part of the demonstrators,” he appealed.
“Remember, it will be a working day and we shall be having people operating hotels, shops and other businesses.
We are looking uncivilised when we start converging, and then as we continue, it turns violent and beats the logic of conducting it, which makes the situation worse.”
