Wednesday, June 25, 2025 - A video has surfaced showing Members of Parliament hurriedly leaving Parliament Buildings on Wednesday afternoon, June 25th, as Gen Z protests intensified in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
The footage shared online captures lawmakers’ vehicles
swiftly exiting the parliamentary parking lot near Uhuru Highway amid fears
that protesting youth could breach security.
The exodus followed the adjournment of the National
Assembly’s morning session due to a lack of quorum.
Ugenya MP, David Ochieng, who was chairing the session in
Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s absence, called off proceedings after several motion
movers failed to appear.
Earlier in the day, a heavy police presence had been
deployed around Parliament, with armed officers, anti-riot vehicles, water
cannons, and metal barricades securing key entry points.
Despite this, by mid-afternoon, crowds of protesters
continued streaming into the city, especially along Moi Avenue and Kenyatta
Avenue.
The protests, initially peaceful, were held to commemorate
demonstrators killed during last year’s anti-finance bill protests, some of
whom were shot outside Parliament.
