Kenyans from all walks of life gathered at Uhuru Park on Sunday 7th July 2024, for Shujaaz Memorial Concert in honor of those who lost their lives during the Anti-Finance Bill Protests.
A prayer event started at All Saints Cathedral before the event proceeded to Uhuru Park.
Participants mounted crosses bearing the victims' names at Uhuru Park.
Those killed during the protests were hailed as heroes and martyrs felled by bullets and injuries while fighting for a better Kenya.
"The government is listening now because of the protests. So we are kind of happy, but there's also a lot of sadness because so many people died for the government to listen. So we're also mourning, and we're telling the families of those who lost their loved ones, we're with you, and we shall honour their sacrifice," said Boniface Mwangi.
Various Kenyan artists such as Bien, Khaligraph Jones, Octopizzo, Juliani, Nameless among others entertained the crowd that had gathered to pay tribute to the fallen heroes.
Also present at the event was Busia senator Okiya Omtatah.
Police in Nairobi region provided security for the event.
After the concert at Uhuru Park, Kenyans then marched to Nairobi CBD to celebrate the fallen soldiers.
May their souls rest in peace.
