Nairobi’s iconic Uhuru Park is set to host a significant event on Sunday as thousands of Gen Zs and Millennials gather to honour protesters who lost their lives during recent anti-finance Bill and anti-government demonstrations. The event, dubbed the Shujaaz Memorial Concert, is not only a tribute but also a reflection on Kenya’s history and its ongoing struggle for a fair and just society.
July 7 holds a special place in Kenya’s history, marking an important milestone in the country’s second liberation. The Shujaaz Memorial Concert aims to use this historic day to remember those who fought for freedom and to highlight the ongoing efforts for justice and equality in Kenya.
While the concert primarily targets Gen Zs and Millennials, it also welcomes individuals from other generations who support the cause. This inclusive approach underscores the unity and collective commitment to social justice that spans across age groups.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, who approved the use of Uhuru Park for this significant event, has confirmed his attendance. His presence is expected to underscore the importance of the event and highlight the government’s recognition of the right to peaceful assembly and expression.
The concert is spearheaded by renowned activist Boniface Mwangi, known for his unwavering commitment to human rights and social justice. Mwangi and his team have worked tirelessly to ensure that the event runs smoothly and achieves its goal of honoring the fallen protesters.
The Shujaaz Memorial Concert is set to begin at noon and will continue until 7 PM. Attendees can expect a series of performances, speeches, and tributes throughout the day, creating a space for reflection, solidarity, and remembrance.
As the country continues to grapple with political and social challenges, the Shujaaz Memorial Concert serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by many in the fight for justice. It is a call for continued vigilance, unity, and action towards a better future for all Kenyans.
