Oscar Sudi’s Eldoret based club is said to have been the first to fall victim of the Gen Z rage as protesters stoned glasses around the club and even brought down the gate to Timber XO club. They are also said to have looted expensive alcoholic drinks.

In Nyeri, residents stormed Chyeni supermarket in the area that belongs to area MP Njoroge Wainaina over his vote for the Finance Bill. Residents rushed in and out carrying several items from the supermarket and later, set a section of the mini market on fire.
Kuria Kimani, the Molo MP and the Chairman of the Finance Committee is also said to have suffered the same fate as his constituents invaded his home in Molo before torching it.
This comes as several kenyans express their discontent against their Members of Parliament who voted in favour of the Finance Bill that is now on its last stage before assent by President William Ruto.
Protesters had earlier invaded parliament in a move that saw two protesters pay the ultimate price of death after police officers opened fire against them.
Several kenyans recorded themselves in the chambers and even made away with properties of the National Assembly including the Maze of Parliament, an act that is significant in a democratic country.
