Where is senior counsel @MarthaKarua?
She was last seen at Entebbe International Airport this morning.
She is reported to have been detained at the airport after authorities denied her entry into Uganda.
Her whereabouts remain unknown. She has also not been allowed to communicate to anyone.
@MusaliaMudavadi, @SingoeiAKorir, @WilliamsRuto, can you act? If anything happens to her, Kenyans will hold you accountable.

Haiwi haiwi huwa!
After holding a demonstration to protest the delayed completion of the Nyali bridge - Mtwapa road, finally there is movement and the project is now continuing.
During the demonstration, we gave the government 14 days to continue with the project lest we go back and block the road completely.
The Coast too deserves development like all other regions in the country.
This International Day for Countering Hate Speech, individual responsibility to reject, rebuke and discourage hate speech is paramount. As the political heat rises ahead of 2027 General Elections, Kenyans can avert divisions by promoting responsible communication. #IDCHP

No Democracy Survives the Desecration of Its Sanctuaries
What happened at All Saints Cathedral on Friday is an assault on civilization. For centuries, the church has stood as a sanctuary and a place of refuge, prayer and conscience. From the Kiambaa church fire of 2008 where 35 souls perished trapped inside a house of God, we know what it means when goons are let loose on sacred spaces. Kenya must never walk that road again.
The facts are chilling. On June 12th, coordinated gangs, arriving on motorcycles in two calculated waves, stormed All Saints Cathedral, terrorised civil society actors attending a legitimate post-budget accountability forum, robbed participants, destroyed property and sent Kenyans fleeing for their lives inside a place of worship. CCTV footage exists. Faces are known. Motorcycle plates have been recorded. A suspect in custody has allegedly named a government official as the sponsor. The Inspector General of Police must now ensure thorough investigations are done, and that every perpetrator and financier of this outrageous act is arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
To those that engineered this act of repression, silencing citizens who are exercising their constitutional right to public participation is not leadership. The church is not a political battleground. It is sacred ground which the State has an absolute duty to protect. Church grounds must never be reduced to a venue for intimidating and attacking those who seek its refuge.
VOCAL Africa is proud to celebrate the launch of the new Office for the Kilifi Social Justice Centre in Kanamai.
This will go a long way towards strengthening grassroots human rights work and securing a permanent space for justice.

The Reparations Framework presented today proposes a range of measures to ensure justice, including compensation, rehabilitation, restitution, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition.
These are standard reparative justice measures used in transitional justice and human rights contexts to address harm suffered by victims of violations. The Framework seeks to establish a victim-centered, transparent and accountable system capable of delivering accessible and effective remedies in accordance with the Constitution and international human rights standards.
“All senior police officers from the stations should be prosecuted until they reveal who sent them to assist during the protests, because they are the ones who know where those people came from."~ @Raskinoyugi
