Police are still arresting people for exercising their right to protest. Nairobi looks like a military barracks but we shall still #OccupyParliament #RejectFinanceBill2024

“𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.”- 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐧

Two days ago, we had violent killings of more than 23 young patriots, whose lives were ended so senselessly by the Ruto administration. They were peaceful and unarmed. Some died clutching the national flag. We have lost more than enough people. Families are grieving, and their loved ones are yet to be buried. One life is too many, and we have over 300 people recovering from injuries and some are in critical condition.

I posted about the planned infiltration of the Gen-Z movement by hired goons, two days ahead of Tuesday's peaceful protests. And there was online chatter that confirmed that known politicians had hired violent thugs to hijack the protests to cause mayhem and blame it on Gen-Z. This would be used to justify the subsequent crackdown on innocent Kenyans perceived as leaders of the movement and squeeze the democratic space to criminalise dissent.

We have already seen it with the illegal deployment of the military to our streets, and abduction of innocent Kenyans. The intent is to discourage youths from participating in lawful protests and chart the future of our country. A few hours before the one million peoples’ march, there is an attempt to incite people to invade State House.

What happens when State House is invaded? Who runs the country? We have to be careful we don’t get incited into throwing our country into turmoil. Invasion of State House isn’t a solution. Countries are run by institutions, and the presidency is an institution. So if we want to take back our country, we must chart a path that allows that without throwing the country into anarchy.

We now know what Gen-Z are capable of. They have risen to the defence of our nation when Parliament was bought by Ruto, and organised peaceful protests in 35 of our nation’s 47 counties. This is unprecedented in our history. The courts have refused to send to jail the citizens who have exercised their right to protest. I can confidently tell you that the courts will not hesitate to send you to jail for invading a protected area, that is if you make it out alive. Let’s not be foolish as we fight for a better Kenya.

Today, we fully occupy Parliament and make our demands. Parliament is our ground zero, where brave young people sacrificed their lives for a more equal and humane Kenya. The constitution is a powerful tool to use in the fight to reclaim from the hands of goons, and the mafia.

Parliament is not a protected area, and police acted illegally by killing those who entered its precincts. No one deserved to die!. They could have even shot to immobilize the protesters. The sacrifice of those brave patriots has inspired the youth of this country to demand accountability from their leader.

Today we liberate our country from the hands of a few, and remind Ruto that he is an employee of the people. The people who made this massacre possible, and refused to yield to the voice of the people, must resign. We are occupying parliament, not State House. The Gen Z have a lot of demands to make, and they will make them. We will Occupy Parliament peacefully as we honour those who died in the fight to liberate Kenya from the shackles of Zakayo, IMF and the World Bank.

The citizens shall make their demands from parliament, a house whose existence is supposed to be for the welfare of the people, and a just government. The conduct of peaceful protesters over the past week has revealed the future we can expect. We have taken back the power from public servants who had decided to lord over us. Power belongs to the people, and we have managed to take it back. Today is also a new dawn for our country. See you in parliament. #RejectFinanceBill2024 #OccupyParliament

Yet another missing comrade release Regis Wanjala!!!!

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

People coming out today is to remove the idea that politicians own us, it’s a demonstration that this moment belongs to us and it’s WE the People who tell the president what to do and not the other way round

Secondly, the state has used fear by killing people on Tuesday and there should be a clear signal that speaking up shouldn’t be this costly. Those who were abducted, maimed and killed would otherwise have done so in vain. Ignore those bringing confusion, and most importantly telling you to Occupy State House. See you at parliament. #OccupyParliament

Guys it’s not over yet. They want to pass this bill that will make it almost impossible to protest like we have been doing. And he’s said it himself that they will try again next year. If this bill passes, next year we won’t have a voice to reject this finance bill.

[Karori_Mungai @KaroriSamuel1]

Help us find him, Rt widely

[Auma Obama @AumaObama]

A friend forwarded me this. I cried …

*Mama I made it!*
I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?
But tell papa I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!

MY instant reaction: President William Ruto could have withdrawn the Finance Bill a few days ago and saved lives. But he was obstinate, and I watched police shoot protesters dead for no reason at all

Self preservation has kicked in. Ameambiwa today is his last day as President.
