Initially peaceful protests across the country were later marred by violence as individuals infiltrated the Nairobi Central Business District and various other areas, vandalizing and stealing from businesses.

The Gen Z activists who initially led the protests had maintained a peaceful stance with both the police and local businesses. 

However, the situation deteriorated as looters began targeting shops and clashing with law enforcement by throwing stones. 

Some protestors noted a shift in the atmosphere, stating that unlike previous demonstrations, the recent ones were infiltrated by delinquents who stole phones and destroyed businesses.
