Being In Power As President And You Keep Chest thumping How Powerful or Experienced you are in Politics yet The Generation You Leading Is This Hopeless and Ready To lose it All. You Must Watch Yourself Keenly.
In 2013, when the government sought to silence Shackles of Doom, a bold play by Cleophas Malala performed by Butere Girls, I took a stand. I filed Petition No. 192 of 2013, and the High Court, in a decisive ruling by Justice David Majanja, affirmed that students have the right to speak, to challenges, and to create. The ban was struck down.
Now, over a decade later, Echoes of War by the same Butere girls, faces similar resistance at the national level. This is not just about one play, it’s about defending the very right to free expression in our education system.
The executive must understand that our Constitution guarantees freedom of thought and expression and is not guaranteed by permission. This isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s the law.
The classroom is not a cage. Our stages must remain free.
The 2013 ruling stands as a reminder that no government can silence the voices of the youth and its citizens.
We will not stand by while those in power attempt to stifle creativity, expression and the right to challenge the status quo.
Let them speak, create and inspire without fear of retribution!
Haki yao, sauti yao!

Abdikhadir, the boy from Eastleigh who was shot during the first protest has sadly succumbed at KNH. Utterly devastating. He was full of life despite being paralyzed and with a bullet he had to live with. He has just started his physiotherapy. When the mum called in the morning it completely shattered my heart. Another soul gone. Again.
