Veterans of Kenya's 1990 Saba Saba struggle for democracy drew parallels between the historic pro-democracy protests and recent nationwide security crackdowns. They argue that the fight for accountable governance remains incomplete.

• Yesterday's Saba Saba commemoration was marked by heightened security, including road blockades and deserted streets, mirroring tactics used in 1990.
• Key figures from the second liberation, such as Governor James Orengo and Njeru Kathangu, expressed concern over ongoing human rights violations and governance challenges.
• While some veterans, like Paul Muite, highlighted gains such as the 2010 Constitution, others, like Oburu Oginga, urged focusing on safeguarding past achievements rather than street protests.
