Rongai Hospitals are overwhelmed with victims. The 10 patients who are admitted at @KNH_hospital were transferred there because Rongai hospitals are allegedly full. Out of the ten admitted, four of them have gunshot wounds. We shall dispatch a team in the morning. @husskhalid
The wounded from Rongai are arriving at @KNH_hospital, gunshot and rubber bullet wounds. The goons who started the violence were hired by a local MP to counter the Gen Z #RejectFinanceBill2024 protest. Local NIS man, OCS were tipped about the planned violence, and did nothing!

Two days ago, we had violent killings of more than 23 young patriots, whose lives were ended so senselessly by the Ruto administration. They were peaceful and unarmed. Some died clutching the national flag. We have lost more than enough people. Families are grieving, and their loved ones are yet to be buried. One life is too many, and we have over 300 people recovering from injuries and some are in critical condition.
I posted about the planned infiltration of the Gen-Z movement by hired goons, two days ahead of Tuesday's peaceful protests. And there was online chatter that confirmed that known politicians had hired violent thugs to hijack the protests to cause mayhem and blame it on Gen-Z. This would be used to justify the subsequent crackdown on innocent Kenyans perceived as leaders of the movement and squeeze the democratic space to criminalise dissent.
We have already seen it with the illegal deployment of the military to our streets, and abduction of innocent Kenyans. The intent is to discourage youths from participating in lawful protests and chart the future of our country. A few hours before the one million peoples’ march, there is an attempt to incite people to invade State House.
What happens when State House is invaded? Who runs the country? We have to be careful we don’t get incited into throwing our country into turmoil. Invasion of State House isn’t a solution. Countries are run by institutions, and the presidency is an institution. So if we want to take back our country, we must chart a path that allows that without throwing the country into anarchy.
We now know what Gen-Z are capable of. They have risen to the defence of our nation when Parliament was bought by Ruto, and organised peaceful protests in 35 of our nation’s 47 counties. This is unprecedented in our history. The courts have refused to send to jail the citizens who have exercised their right to protest. I can confidently tell you that the courts will not hesitate to send you to jail for invading a protected area, that is if you make it out alive. Let’s not be foolish as we fight for a better Kenya.
Today, we fully occupy Parliament and make our demands. Parliament is our ground zero, where brave young people sacrificed their lives for a more equal and humane Kenya. The constitution is a powerful tool to use in the fight to reclaim from the hands of goons, and the mafia.
Parliament is not a protected area, and police acted illegally by killing those who entered its precincts. No one deserved to die!. They could have even shot to immobilize the protesters. The sacrifice of those brave patriots has inspired the youth of this country to demand accountability from their leader.
Today we liberate our country from the hands of a few, and remind Ruto that he is an employee of the people. The people who made this massacre possible, and refused to yield to the voice of the people, must resign. We are occupying parliament, not State House. The Gen Z have a lot of demands to make, and they will make them. We will Occupy Parliament peacefully as we honour those who died in the fight to liberate Kenya from the shackles of Zakayo, IMF and the World Bank.
The citizens shall make their demands from parliament, a house whose existence is supposed to be for the welfare of the people, and a just government. The conduct of peaceful protesters over the past week has revealed the future we can expect. We have taken back the power from public servants who had decided to lord over us. Power belongs to the people, and we have managed to take it back. Today is also a new dawn for our country. See you in parliament. #RejectFinanceBill2024 #OccupyParliament

This was yesterday. The police murdered innocent, unarmed citizens for simply saying #RejectFinanceBill2024. Tomorrow we are back to the streets to mourn our fallen heroes, and to demand a better Kenya. We shall not be hoodwinked by press conferences! We shall mourn as we march.
Amazing how this psychopath manages to display multiple personalities. Comparing the guy addressing the country now vs the one who called us treasonous criminals you would think they’re entirely different people!
Guys it’s not over yet. They want to pass this bill that will make it almost impossible to protest like we have been doing. And he’s said it himself that they will try again next year. If this bill passes, next year we won’t have a voice to reject this finance bill.
Hello guys. This is an mchanga link for the injured and dead. Please support and help so we’d help everyone who has been harmed. We already contributed for Rex and Evans families and they’ll receive the money today. Please share and contribute 🫶🏻🫶🏻

The arrogance is gone, but the lies are still there. This government sold our parents fake fertilizer. Yesterday they unleashed goons, and police to kill peaceful protestors. That will not stop us. See you tomorrow at the one million people march. He can’t kill us all.
How can a corrupt MP shamelessly admit that she's collected enough for her generation while our country suffers. This is the height of arrogance. @hon_alicenganga ,a thief, is what you are! You are the reason why we’re hitting the streets harder tomorrow. #RejectFinanceBill2024
Kenyans were peaceful today. Unarmed, carrying placards, whistling and singing loudly. Politicians hired goons to infiltrate, create havoc and loot. Today’s havoc was caused by paid greedy politicians who have finances to send goons to the streets. We expect zero witch-hunt from today’s incident. All peaceful protestors protected, life and property. It’s the police, and hired criminals who took advantage of a peaceful protest to throw Kenya into chaos. #RejectFinanceBill2024 #ZakayoStopKillingUs
If you’re an elected leader in this government and expect the citizens of this great nation to ever honor you again after today, you will need a miracle.
June 25th is now #BlackTuesday
The day you killed our children to protect your interests. Never again.
They shot at a church.
With medics attending to injured inside.
And reportedly killed more people.
My goodness my anger is full to the brim.
#RejectFinanceBill2024
So we all agree that we’re way past #RejectFinanceBill2024!!!! It’s now a fight against persistent corruption, poor governance, punitive policies, a corrupt justice system and an unjust govt! WE WON’T STOP
