Kenyans on Sunday afternoon mounted crosses at Uhuru Park to commemorate the loss of lives witnessed during the Anti-Finance Bill protests.
In the sombre event, Kenyans mounted more than 30 crosses with the names and the ages of protestors who died jotted down.
Youths mounted the crosses at a strategic distance away from the memorial concert while mourning the fallen colleagues.
They further laid the Kenyan flag on the crosses as a show of patriotism.
The event which was slated as a commemoration concert was dubbed the Shujaaz Memorial Concert.
A massive turnout in the thousands was witnessed in the city and in the park as Kenyans thronged the facility and observed a minute of silence to commemorate lost lives.
Notable names in the Kenyan music scene were also in attendance, entertaining the youth.
On the other hand, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) also conducted a memorial service for the fallen youth in its churches.
Several churches in the country marked the commemoration with the clergy pushing the government to release detained protestors.
“We call upon the release of all those who are held in police stations and in prison unconditionally because they have done nothing wrong and they fought for those who did not have a voice,” All Saints Cathedral stated.
At Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi, youth were seen draped in flags during the service.
According to data from human rights activists, 39 people lost their lives in the anti-government protests with hundreds more being arrested.
