## Resource

June 25 marks a turning point in Kenya’s history. What started in 2024 as youth-led protests against the Finance Bill grew into nationwide demonstrations. Led largely by Gen Z, protesters demanded justice for the fallen, an end to corruption, and real economic change. More than 60 lives were lost in the historic anti-tax protests. In this episode we sit down with BBC reporters Akisa Wandera and Thomas Mukhwana. They break down why this leaderless youth movement refuses to back down and what this means for the future of Kenya. Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash, Bella Twine, and Daniel Dadzie Senior Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Rhoda Odhiambo, and Carolyne Jotham Technical Producer: Herbert Masua Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla
