President William Ruto has issued a stern warning against any destructive activities during the planned anniversary of the June 25 anti-government protests. He emphasized that the nation will not go backwards and property destruction or chaos will not be tolerated.

• The warning comes as families of youths killed during the 2024 anti-tax protests, opposition leaders, and human rights defenders plan nationwide demonstrations to mark the second anniversary.
• Key figures involved include President William Ruto and the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.
• The demonstrators aim to honor over 60 individuals killed, demand accountability, and have also requested June 25 be declared a public holiday and for a memorial to be built.
