Every year on July 7, Kenyans commemorate Saba Saba, marking a pivotal protest for multiparty democracy that began in 1990 against Daniel Arap Moi's regime.

• On July 7, 1990, opposition leaders called for a banned rally at Kamukunji Grounds in Nairobi, leading to violent clashes, detentions, and fatalities.
• Kenneth Matiba, Charles Rubia, and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga were key figures advocating for democracy.
• Protests continued through the years, with activists like Wangari Maathai and Boniface Mwangi addressing issues of police brutality, corruption, and economic injustice.
