Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja tells people across Kenya to stop troublemakers from ruining peaceful marches. He warns against violence during the June 25 memory protests. Sakaja says bad people cannot use democracy as an excuse to cause problems. His government will not let criminals mess up peaceful demonstrations. The governor spoke with police leaders about keeping protesters safe.

Sakaja asks everyone to follow the law during the marches. He reminds people that peaceful protests are their right under the constitution. Police officers must protect both the protesters and other people around the city. The governor says violence and riots have nothing to do with real democracy. His team will defend Nairobi according to legal rules.

People plan to march across Kenya on June 25 to remember those who died last year. The protests honor victims of police violence during the Finance Bill demonstrations. Young protesters had stormed Parliament buildings after breaking through security barriers. Many people got hurt when the peaceful revolt turned deadly. Civil rights groups and youth leaders want everyone to stay calm and peaceful.

Some worry that criminal gangs might sneak into the protests to start trouble. These bad groups could try to make the peaceful movement look violent. Police promise to guard peaceful marchers from any harm. Officers will also crack down hard on anyone who tries to cause chaos. The goal is keeping everyone safe during the memory march.
