Last year, around this time, I was getting ready for the most consequential protest I’ve ever been part of. We achieved all we set out to do peacefully but the police responded with brutal force and claimed many of our own. It’s a wound that will never fully heal, and we must never forget the brutality Kenyan youth have suffered at the hands of those meant to protect us.
A year later, I still sing this anthem, the same one we sang together in the streets, in solidarity with every young person marching or protesting tomorrow. Though I am thousands of kilometres away, I stand in solidarity with you. To the families who lost loved ones, my heart is with you. To Kenya, our motherland, we shall surely liberate you.🇰🇪
A nation heals when it finds the courage to acknowledge its wounds. The decision by H.E. President Ruto to compensate victims of gross human rights violations is a historic first step towards justice, national healing, and reconciliation. We must never tire in our pursuit of dignity for every Kenyan.
Public discourse cannot be a one-way street. If you’re free to dish it out, you must be prepared to receive it.

Some commercial activists and their journalist discovered yesterday that scrutiny is far less enjoyable when it is directed at them.
President Ruto has achieved the most important first step toward our national healing. The acknowledgement and compensation of victims of human rights violations by the state. This is the core of the spirit of The Broad Based Government. Asante sana Rais!
To the friends and family of Utumishi Girls Academy, may our God give you a peace that passeth all human understanding. No family should ever have to endure such a harrowing ordeal. Poleni sana.
