June 22, 2025: Top news events to look out for today

Here is what you need to know to keep up to speed with today’s happenings.
Impending June 25 anniversary
The divergent sentiments from Kenya’s class ahead of the anniversary of the June 25th protest are set to dominate political dialogue this Sunday.
The date marked a turning point in Kenya’s politics after anti-government protesters, led by the young Gen Z generation, culminated in the storming of Parliament in Nairobi, where protesters set a section of the building on fire.
The opposition politicians and those allied to the government have maintained their respective stances on how to commemorate the day.
The opposition, led by Kalonzo Musyoka in particular, has been pushing for the day to be formally recognised in honour of those who firmly rejected tax-raising measures that were contained in the Finance Bill 2024.

While justifying his push for the day to be remembered as Gen-Z Revolution Day, Kalonzo dismissed sentiments that he was advocating for it for his political interests but insisted it was the right thing to do for those who lost their lives in that cause.
However, the government’s allied faction remains adamant with a dissenting stance. They have reiterated the call to have protesters reined in and politicians who fuel anarchy face the law.
Teso South MP Mary Emase on Saturday, June 21, 2025, added a twist to the controversy by calling for legislation to designate protest zones, in view of the recent cases of the demonstrations that have sadly turned violent.

“We need to bring a new law and an amendment to designate places for holding demonstrations. The law should stipulate that we have a specific law for holding demonstrations. We cannot have people roaming without an agenda and destroying people’s properties in the name of demos,” she asserted.
FKF PL climax
The end of the Football Kenya Federation 2024/25 season will officially go down with the final rounds of fixtures this Sunday, June 22, 2025.
The highlight of the clash will be at the Ulinzi Sports Complex, where the new winners, Kenya Police, will be crowned as the new league champions.
The law enforcers face the outgoing champions Gor Mahia in a dead rubber clash after they sealed the title last week with a game to spare.
In anticipation of the new champions, the Football Kenya Federation on Saturday, June 21, unveiled a new, pristine trophy that will be handed to the new winners.
As is the norm with the final round of fixtures, all the games will be played simultaneously to avoid the possibilities of match-fixing or manipulation.
The clashes will kick off at 3 pm
