Kenyan retailers suffered a loss of Sh2 billion due to recent protests for better governance, significantly more than last year's losses.

• Losses from stock and infrastructure damage, especially in Kiambu, were emphasized by RETRAK CEO Wambui Mbarire.
• This year's protests included looting and violence, impacting business operations across the country during June and July.
• Despite the challenges, normal business activity has resumed, although some businesses may take 2 to 3 months to recover fully.
