Saba Saba @ 36: nationwide matatu strikes protest rising fuel prices - July 2026

Kenya's democratic journey remains incomplete 36 years after Saba Saba, as indicated by ongoing nationwide matatu strikes protesting rising fuel prices. Kenyan leaders commemorated Saba Saba Day with reflections on the nation's democratic progress, though the anniversary was observed with minimal public fanfare. During the commemoration, a human rights group urged the government to address enforced disappearances and rising insecurity. Additionally, traders at Keumbu market are experiencing a business boycott following an attack by individuals identified as Linda Mwananchi goons. The Kamukunji Grounds is undergoing a significant transformation, signaling a new era for the iconic venue once known for political rallies often marred by violence.
