President William Ruto has issued a stern directive for residents of Angata Barikoi, Trans Mara, to surrender their firearms following deadly clashes. This order comes amidst escalating violence in the border region of Narok County, with the government vowing to restore peace.

• At least seven lives have been claimed in the recent skirmishes between border communities.
• The Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot requested the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces to respond to the situation.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen declared Trans Mara West and Trans Mara South constituencies as security-disturbed areas for 30 days, with a dusk-to-dawn curfew enforced by Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat.
• Over 120 houses have been torched, and a local Member of County Assembly (MCA) has been arrested in connection with the clashes.

Two activists, Julius Kamau and Collins Otieno, were arrested by police at Jeevanjee Gardens in Nairobi on Tuesday morning, ahead of a planned march to the State House. They intended to march with families of victims from the 2024 and 2025 anti-government protests to demand compensation.

• The arrests took place shortly before families gathered for the march, with Kamau confirming their detainment at Central Police Station.
• Activists, including Vocal Africa CEO Hussein Khalid, condemned the arrests, accusing the National Police Service of rights violations.
• The march was planned to demand justice and compensation for victims of police brutality, as a presidential proclamation from August 8, 2025, for reparations has allegedly seen delayed disbursement.

Chaos erupted in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) after anti-riot police used tear gas to disperse protesters attempting to march to State House. The demonstration, primarily by parents and relatives of victims from the 2024 and 2025 anti-government protests, sought an audience with President William Ruto over delayed compensation.

• Two activists, Julius Kamau and Collins Otieno, were arrested at Jeevanjee Gardens prior to the protest.
• The protesters gathered at Jeevanjee Gardens before their planned procession to State House.
