The trail of destruction following Tuesday's Finance Bill, 2024 protests was laid bare on Wednesday revealing the magnitude of losses borne by businesses, after protests took a violent turn and ended in the torching of property and looting from shops.
From Kenyatta Avenue where the Uganda House building was burnt down with its entire ground floor completely obliterated, supermarkets that were heavily pillaged across different towns, to dozens of electronics shops across more than 10 streets within the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) that were broken into and phones, television sets and other items stolen, it became apparent that the Tuesday protests have left behind losses in the hundreds of millions of shillings.
