These are cowards and liars. Whose culture is it to fight for your liberation and freedom? Remember that the British colonialists and the KANU/Moi dictatorship were not defeated “through the ballot.” If you are too cowardly to fight for your freedom, keep your mouth closed.
We marched peacefully to honour the memory of the young Kenyans we lost and to stand with their families in their pursuit of justice, despite constant threats and attempts to disperse us.
The issues that brought young people to the streets on June 25th, 2024 remain with us today: unemployment, corruption, overtaxation, and a government that does not care to listen.
The greatest tribute we can pay those we lost is to continue the work of building the Kenya they believed was possible.
To the mothers, fathers, families, and all Kenyans who carry this loss, you do not walk alone.
Aluta Continua!
#WeWillNotForget
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!
