The Maandamano happening in Kenya on Wednesday, July 12, seems to be larger, more spontaneous, and widely spread than any other that has ever happened in Kenya. Led by Raila Odinga, Kenyans seem to be sending a clear message to President William Ruto.

Almost all businesses within the Nairobi CBD remained shut. Given that the CBD generates at least one billion shillings daily in business, means, by the end of the day, at least that much will be affected in terms of revenues. This is without touching on the matatu sector.
