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
Mombasa protest ilikuwa inaenda uninterrupted. Until someone brought a coffin written 'KILLER COPS' in bright red Njege wamezua vurugu mbaya. Why would anyone bring such a coffin to a protest? First, because it's factual. Second, because facts must be spoken.
On this day, the #IMF stood by as its local proxies oversaw the killing of young people in broad daylight.
The pain of that tragedy remains with us today and every day thereafter. As we remember those lives lost, we must continue to demand accountability, justice, and a future where the voices of young people are heard, respected, and protected.
Never forget that comrades were killed , their bodies wrapped in sacks and eventually dumped in thickets and dumping sites by the police.
This happened when kithure kindiki was the CS for interior.
