Traders in Naivasha town are counting losses worth millions of shillings after their businesses were looted and ransacked by goons during Wednesday's Gen Z protests.
The protests started peacefully but turned chaotic in the evening paralyzing transport along the busy Nakuru-Nairobi highway where the rioters lit bonfires to register their displeasure with the government.
Hundreds of youths had turned up in Naivasha town to commemorate the deaths of over 60 youths killed during last year's Gen-Z anti-finance bill demonstrations before the situation turned chaotic after a section of residents purporting to be part of the demonstrations showed up with crude weapons.
During the melee, a section of youths invaded and looted three major supermarkets and made away with goods worth millions of shillings as chaos rocked the town for the better part of the day.
