Today, Homa Bay witnessed scenes that should horrify every Kenyan.
Convoys were ambushed. Roads were barricaded with stones before dawn. Political leaders were attacked. Vehicles were vandalized. Journalists were beaten and their equipment stolen.
James Orengo's convoy was attacked in Ndhiwa.
Wycliffe Wangamati's vehicle was vandalized at Asumbi Junction.
Journalists were attacked simply for doing their jobs.
And where was the police?
Watching.
Arriving late.
Then coming out with explanations after the damage had already been done.
Seventeen suspects may have been arrested, but arrests after violence do not erase what happened.
They do not repair destroyed vehicles.
They do not heal injured journalists.
They do not restore public confidence.
Kenya must stop normalizing political violence.
If people can organize road blockades before sunrise, mobilize goons and attack peaceful political convoys while the police stand by, then Kenyans have every right to ask a simple question:
WHO ORGANIZED THIS? WHO FUNDED IT?
WHO GAVE THE ORDERS?
We do not want scapegoats.
We know the masterminds.
We know the financiers.
We know the commanders.
We know everyone who planned, facilitated or participated in the violence.
And the Inspector General of Police we dont want you answers.
Why were roads allowed to remain barricaded?
Why were political convoys allowed to be attacked?
Why were journalists beaten?
Why did intervention come after the violence instead of before it?
This country cannot become a place where political disagreement is settled by stones, goons and fear.
Our counties are not battlefields.
Kenya is not a private property.
Kenyan citizens do not need permission from anyone to assemble, speak, campaign or disagree with the government.
Those who believe violence can silence Kenyans are making a catastrophic mistake.
You can block a road.
You can attack a convoy.
You can smash a vehicle.
You can steal a journalist's camera.
But you cannot smash the democratic spirit of millions of Kenyans.
We will remember.
We will document.
We will defend ourselves & our leaders
And we will not be driven from the political arena by men carrying stones and acting with impunity.
August 10th 2027 is coming.
The ballot box will speak louder than every goon.
Kenya belongs to its people, not to those who believe fear is a political strategy.
@abbah_mwamburi 😂😂 let them enjoy their one trophy before they go back to their usual place bottlers merchant with a fancy stadium. The bottle is gone… until next May, obviously.
If Kenyans can be allowed in State House for a pro-government rally, then Kenyans should also be allowed in for an anti-government rally. The High Court should be tasked to interpret this discrimination in use of public land based on political affiliations.
