The Gen Z protests across 25 Kenyan counties on June 25, 2025, significantly impacted businesses, causing economic losses due to missed opportunities and property damage.
The Kenya Private Sector Alliance estimated daily losses of Ksh.3 billion during such protests, contributing to a GDP growth decline from 5.7% to 4.7% the previous year.
Nairobi county government lost approximately Ksh.6 million in daily parking levies.
Fear from the protests reduced economic activity and raised prices for basic goods, while also deterring foreign investors due to negative international media coverage.

Despite disruptions, the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) gained Ksh.15.97 billion in investor wealth, unlike the previous year’s losses.
This even as the Central Bank of Kenya’s $10.9 billion foreign currency reserves signaled market stability.
The government faced revenue losses and infrastructure repair costs, and ordered a media blackout on live protest coverage, drawing criticism from the Kenya Editors Guild and Law Society of Kenya (LSK).
Parliament adjourned early for safety reasons.

Hello! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
I am perpetually thought about this, appreciate it for posting.
Throughout the awesome pattern of things you actually secure a B- just for hard work. Where exactly you actually lost everybody was in all the particulars. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more correct at this point. Having said that, allow me say to you what did give good results. The article (parts of it) is rather convincing which is probably the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can certainly notice a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to connect the details which make the actual conclusion. For right now I will yield to your position but wish in the near future you actually link the dots much better.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
