The Ministry of Trade and Industry has warned that recurrent demonstrations will result in serious repercussions on the country's economy.
The warning comes amidst purported plans of a fresh wave of protests on Monday, July 7, dubbed Saba Saba Day, aimed at pressuring President William Ruto to listen to the grievances of Kenyans.
In a statement on his X account on Saturday, June 5, Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui cautioned that the demonstrations, which often end up being hijacked by criminal elements, will not only cause severe damage to businesses but will also chase away foreign investors.
The CS, who labelled the destruction of property during protests as unacceptable, stressed the need for the public to remain vigilant and refrain from actions that may cause business destruction.
