The ED of the CDPOK joined other OPDs in congratulating Hon. Harold Kipchumba on his nomination to the National Assembly.

This is a major step toward realizing the 5% quota for persons with disabilities in line with the Kenyan Constitution.

At exactly 2:08 pm EAT today, hired goons stormed our office—sent by the state to silence dissent.
They violently disrupted a press conference by Kenyan mothers calling for an end to arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings targeting protesters ahead of Saba Saba demonstrations.
Saba Saba has been marked annually as a symbol of resistance and civic courage in ongoing struggles.
This was a calculated escalation in the campaign of intimidation by the William Ruto regime against the KHRC—following the extraordinary illegal rendition of our staff Martin Mavenjina—and human rights defenders holding it accountable for gross human rights violations.
We will not be silenced!
The Constitution protects our right to protest and speak out. See you on the streets on Monday!

WE DID DIALOGUE IN A PARLIAMENTARY STYLE.

The event went on well, and we thoroughly had a good dialogue on inclusive electoral reforms!
During the panel discussion on Youth Participation in Electoral Reforms, I highlighted some of the key challenges https://t.co/v770IuNPT8

“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. Next year, next day, next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose
