David Maraga: All these barricades are meant to make sure that nobody goes to the media so that the government can hide behind the compensation they have given. #ProtestAnniversary
On this day, Richard Otieno was the first to lead a peaceful protest against the Finance Bill in 2024.
Kimani Kuriahh , MP of Molo, accused him of stealing chicken from his home. Instead of using the law, he sent goons to end his life.
He was an activist and an aspiring politician.
RIP
A letter notifying the police of today’s peaceful march to Parliament marking the second anniversary of June 25th and stating that Kenyans will be marching countrywide, was delivered to Police Spokesman Michael Nyaga Muchiri by five lawyers.
Here is the video we recorded as the letter was handed over in the presence of former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, former Justice Minister and Senior Counsel Martha Karua, Professor of Law and Senior Counsel Kivutha Kibwana, Senior Counsel Gitobu Imanyara and Senior Counsel James Orengo.
The police had sufficient time to prepare to protect marchers and ensure that no goons infiltrate to harm protesters or loot businesses.
It is the duty of the police to protect lives and property for all and to arrest criminals. If any goons appear today and are not arrested, we shall know they are working for President Ruto.

Gillian Munyao - Rex Masai’s mother: Compensation cannot replace accountability. Arrest the killer cops. That is my message to the government. #ProtestAnniversary
Today as we marched to Parliament to lay flowers at the site where Kenyan Youth were shot dead, police violently dispersed us a few metres from the precincts of Parliament.
I pulled Rex Masai's mother, who was marching next to me into my vehicle as other mothers and victims found refuge in the few cars on site.
We drove away as police men pursued us.
We were guilty of one thing: peaceful demonstration and picketing as allowed by our Constitution in remembrance of these young heroes.
As a people, we shall not relent until we deliver justice and accountability for the victims.
#Ukombozi is nigh!
This week, I'm Rex Masai and Boniface Kariuki.
Light a candle for the fallen heroes from this evening.
Vigil at churches, schools, and towns, and CBDs and more.
The one infront of the gun lives forever.
Rigathi Gachagua is not our spokesperson. We shall be on the streets tomorrow to commemorate our fellow GenZs who lost their lives in 2024 & 2025.
Let this sink!
