Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Kenyans to come out on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, to remember those who lost their lives and those who were injured during the 2024 Anti-Finance Bill protests.
In a statement on Saturday, June 21, Kalonzo said the day should be called the ‘Gen Z Revolution Day’ to honor Kenyans who were killed in last year's protests.
Kalonzo emphasized that his call to recognize June 25 was not driven by political gain, but because it was the right thing to do.
“On June 25th, Kenya will pause to honour our fallen heroes — the young patriots who paid the ultimate price for our democracy. This must become Gen Z Revolution Day — a sacred day when we remember those who stood weaponless against tyranny and gave everything for the Kenya they believed in.
“Months ago, I called for this day to be recognised, not for political mileage, not for attention, but because it is the right thing to do. These young Kenyans died for principles bigger than any of us,” said Kalonzo.

The former vice president urged Kenyans to carry flowers, which will be laid in honor of the victims who died on June 25, 2024.
“I urge all Kenyans to join this solemn tribute. Come out and lay flowers for our young patriots who paid the ultimate price for a better Kenya. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten or diminished. Their blood must not be in vain,” Kalonzo added.
His statement comes as Kenyans are planning to stage protests in Nairobi CBD and across major towns in the country on June 25 to commemorate the deadly aftermath of the 2024 anti-government protests.
The families of the victims are expected to present memoranda to Parliament and the office of the President, demanding justice for their loved ones.
