The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has condemned the violence during the June 25 protests, asserting that some media and civil society members incited unrest under the pretext of advocating human rights.

• The protests led to significant incidents of violence, including **destruction of public infrastructure**, looting, and arson.
• Hassan Omar Hassan, UDA Secretary-General, reaffirmed the constitutional right to peaceful assembly but emphasized that it should not justify lawlessness.
• UDA linked the unrest to a broader scheme by political oligarchs to undermine President Ruto’s reform agenda and praised police for maintaining order amid violent protests.
