Nairobi—Governor Johnson Sakaja has reacted to reports that he has outlawed Generation Z (Gen Z) demonstrations in Nairobi County.
On Monday, July 1, reports emerged claiming Sakaja had banned protests in the county following widespread destruction of properties in the previous demonstrations.
"The criminal who camouflaged Gen Z protests caused a lot of damage to Nairobi county and we have agreed with my officials that there will be no more protests in Nairobi and we are prepared to face those who will disobey us," the report said.
However reacting to the reports, the city governor termed them as false, claiming political opportunists were using his name to create fake news.
"Not true. Don't fall for political opportunists creating fake news," Sakaja said.
