Five people have been shot dead by police following a peaceful protest that turned violent.
The protestors were demonstrating against the alleged illegal acquisition of 10,000 acres of land by President William Ruto and former Narok Governor Samuel Tunai.
The affected communities have reportedly lived on the land since Kenya’s independence. Tensions escalated when police disrupted the demonstration and opened fire on the crowd.
Angata Barrikoi, Kilgoris Constituency, Narok County.
I am deeply saddened by the reported news of the killings in Angata Barikoi. My heartfelt condolences to all affected. I want to assure you that no one can take your land from you. As your Senator, I stand firmly with you in this difficult time. I will visit the area to gain a better understanding of the situation and offer my support. Once again, my sincere condolences.
Today, I had the honor of hosting the President of Kenya, @WilliamsRuto, for lunch at Enkanasa Village, my private residence, following Easter Sunday church. We discussed various development issues, including dairy farming, road network expansion, and the unity of our country."
@AmusaviAmusavi @jeanbrendah That was just ACCIDENTAL. If it's a mere heart attack, it can occur in any activity like even playing football or jumping at homestead. A fat EMBOLISM that can cause heart attack is simple. It can occur any time. My BLAME goes to parents. How can they obese the boy that much?
@jeanbrendah @AmusaviAmusavi TV news or newspaper stories are like "JABA STORIES". Can be manipulated to fit their work of attracting attention. We need concrete evidence like "VIDEOS or AUDIOS" of the day showing any refusal by the boy or any act of forcing the boy to run. A PHONE conversation also needed.
@omwambaKE It seems there is a new evolution of human beings, may be transiting from Homosapiens to something else 😂
If you have been keen enough, you can realize majority of teenage youths have some heights that are not seen with their parents or grandparents. Ama ni ile food ya GMO! 😀
