Two human rights activists were arrested in Mombasa while protesting against the ongoing Finance Bill public participation process, which they argued disrespected the Eid-ul-Adha holiday.

• Mathius Shipeta of Haki Africa and Francis Auma of the Muhuri Organisation were detained despite presenting a court order against the process.
• The activists emphasized that the event had low attendance, stating, "the numbers are barely up to 30 people."
• Haki Africa condemned their arrest and criticized the scheduling of the public participation on a national holiday, calling it a violation of constitutional rights.
