Love this discourse.

“..Take away the guns and the teargas, and tear down the walls between the compounds of the wealthy and the corrugated homes of the poor. Let those who've profited from selling Kenya's future live in community with those whose futures they've mortgaged...”

Opinion: William Ruto is not the first leader whose polished international image fails to reflect his sinking domestic reputation. But he is a stark example of the difficulty of reconciling global obligations with domestic political realities https://t.co/f0q5AypyGi

Many Kenyan politicians proudly show off their luxury lifestyles, but with the cost-of-living crisis and the deadly anti-tax protests, young Kenyans see the flashy habits of officials as unacceptable.

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Remember the Inspector General of Police Koome who has been sending his officers to brutalise, shoot, abduct, torture, and kill innocent Kenyans is still in office.

CALL FOR SOLIDARITY

The Defenders Coalition is concerned that 187 protestors arrested arbitrarily on 2 July 2024 while taking part in #RejectFinanceBill2024 and arraigned in court on 3 July 2024 for plea-taking continue to be held in police custody despite the court freeing them on a free bond.

The Police have defied the court order and are holding them across various police stations in Nairobi: Central, Kamukunji and Capitol Hill Police Stations.

It is alleged that the police are frustrating the arrested persons by demanding for bribes to release them.

The 187 persons include minors. Concerning reports are indicative of prolonged detention without provision of food resulting to health issues for some of the detained persons.

Efforts by @HakiKNCHR, @lawsocietykenya and @DefendersKE have borne no fruits!

Another good day to remind people that just because an academic is renowned for their work in social justice, antiracism, decolonisation, or equality, it does not mean they are invested in this work at a personal level. Some are very good at researching these topics. That is all.

[Hanifa 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 🇨🇩 🇰🇪 @Honeyfarsafi]

Another fact check. We’ve been paying for Moi referral hospital, We’re paying for Embu level 5 and other public hospitals as well. Even people in Mbagathi we visited them and we are waiting for the invoices. I’m repeating, do not play politics with people’s lives

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

RECEIPTS: A CNN review found that Kenyan police violated their own rules for the use of force in protests outside Parliament. Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei personally led the operation.

It was the deadliest day for a single demonstration. Who killed these protesters?

Hello guys. Long long day but fruitful.

1:Every patient at Nairobi west hospital is being catered for and I’m in communication with the finance department anyone from the protest will be charged from mchanga.

2:KNH. We transferred one person from there to Nairobi west since he needed surgery and was in extreme pain.

3:Transferring a five year old who was shot by stray bullet last Tuesday at kahawa wendani from KNH public section to private, she’s in the ICU.

4: please please note that every person from KNH from the protest will not pay a penny. I’m in communication with the finance department and mchanga will pay when they’re discharged. If you have someone from KNH admitted there please don’t worry about the fees.

5: We have two people who were also shot at KNH and don’t have anyone. One is a street kid and the other a man. Please visit them as well.

6: Mchanga sent 200k to Edith Wanjiku whose son was shot dead and was buried today. Receipts to follow.

7:We paid the bills at the comrades in Isiolo. Galaxy hospital. Receipts to follow as well.

8: Mchanga made payments to St Paulina hospital in Rongai, Moi referral hospital, Urifod med clinic , our lady of mercy mission and Homabay district hospital (All these will reflect tonight or tomorrow morning please be patient)

The chaos on the streets of Nairobi this week highlights the risky bet the Biden administration has made on the Kenyan leader William Ruto, orchestrated largely by US Ambassador Meg Whitman. https://t.co/YApdCpA1kk
