On 25th June 2024, our dear sons and daughters, and not criminals, exercised their democratic rights, and not an attack on Kenya, their nation.
Unfortunately, many lost their lives due to police brutality and state-sponsored militias. As if human life isn't valued by this government, yet again in June 2025 and the 2025 7/7 Day, we lost more young promising Kenyans under police bullets and state-sponsored goons.
The value of businesses destroyed and property lost remains largely unspoken and unknown.
Quite unfortunate. But there comes a time in life.
To the families who lost their loved ones then and to Kenyans whose property and livelihoods were destroyed, we shall never forget what they did to us. I stand with you and I understand your pain and grief.
Today, 25th June 2026 wasn't just another day in Kenya. We remembered what they did to our children. We shall never forget.
I sincerely thank my dear sons and daughters—the GenZs, for heeding my plea to avoid death and injury. They had planned to harm you in a big magnitude today.
I further extend great thanks to the business people, traders and neighbourhoods for trusting my better judgement and information and shutting down your premises and securing your towns and communities; this deterred the looting and destruction by state-sponsored goons as they had planned.
Sad as it is, that traders had to hire their own security to protect their properties from state-sponsored goons; this must now become the new normal until this careless administration is removed from power through the ballot on 10th August 2027.
Many thanks to the millions of Kenyans for heeding my request to stay at home to avoid death and injury.
Thank you, parents, for accepting my request to keep your children out of harm's way.
To the professional police officers who acted with restraint and refrained from shooting the protesters whose pain was too much to bear and showed up on our streets, towns and cities to express themselves.
Most importantly, I thank the patriotic police officers who tipped me off about the plans by Mr. Murkomen to use goons to harm Kenyans and destroy property.
But to the few police officers who tried to use excessive force and arbitrary arrests, be patriotic; this is your country. We know you are suffering too, just like the 55 million other Kenyans. Do not ever take illegal orders again.
To the patriotic civil servants who tipped me off about the Kshs. 200 million withdrawn to pay goons to wreak havoc, on behalf of the people of Kenya, we thank you most sincerely.
It is this information that helped me guide the GenZs and Kenyans to avoid death, injury and destruction of property which they had plotted.
I am forever indebted to you, gallant officers.
To the GenZs, please know that tactical retreat is not surrender but strategy.
Let them know that caution is not cowardice but wisdom. I am humbled that Kenyans trusted my judgement, believed I am a truthful and honest man and that I do care for their welfare and that I value human life and human dignity.
Dear Kenyans, my solemn promise to you is that I will remain honest and will tell you the truth as it comes to me. I will do this with great courage, patriotism, responsibility and without fear or favour.
I plead with the people of Kenya to stay alive, stay safe and register as voters, for we all have a date with destiny to liberate our country on 10th Aug. 2027 We shall liberate our country through the mechanism provided for by our Constitution; the ballot.
Whenever they plan violence against innocent Kenyans, we must keep away and call them out.
I thank God for the peaceful day today and pray that we shall have peace in the days to come as we prepare for the General Elections.
Today's restraint by the people of Kenya is a vote of no confidence in this regime. It will serve as a lesson to future administrations that the people are supreme and they must be listened to.
God bless and protect Kenyans.
"Leo hata ungeniambia nisimame karibu na polisi ama mwizi, ningeenda kusimama karibu na mwizi, kwa sababu polisi walikuwa wanakaa kama goons. It was a very bad day for this country."
