This young man was shot at very close range at Narok Police Station gate by the deputy OCS on 06/ 25/ 2024. He was standing infront of me. His name was Brian Lemayian. He was 18 years old and had just finished high school that year. No amount of money can buy a human life.
Because human DIGNITY is more precious than a full stomach in slavery, Kenyans must protest, march and demonstrate against injustices, impunity and profligacy.
#RutoMustGo#RevolutionNow
For the first time in a generation, young Kenyans organized beyond tribe, party and political patronage to challenge a Finance Bill they believed was unjust. They proved that citizenship is not a spectator sport and that public policy can be challenged by an informed and mobilized population.
Whether one agrees with every tactic or not, the movement exposed a simple truth: a government may hold power, but sovereignty belongs to the people.
Shot 8 Times, Paid Nothing:
28-year-old Kennedy Maingi, who was shot eight times by police, says the govt is yet to inform him whether he will receive compensation or not.
He was critically injured and has since been confined to his home.

Kenya's Health Minister Aden Duale has been found guilty of contempt of court over his handling of the construction of a controversial US-funded Ebola quarantine facility. A judge ruled that Duale had ignored the order and allowed the project to continue.

Tomorrow, we are marching peacefully to Parliament to lay flowers for the Gen Z heroes whose lives were ruthlessly cut short by police bullets.
We have asked President Ruto and his government to line up uniformed police officers along the route we gave them to protect us and businesses from his gang of goons and killer cops. This request is not a favour but a constitutional right to a peaceful march. No more illegal arrests, abductions, bloodshed, and killings.
For those outside Nairobi, feel free to visit the families of the Gen Z heroes. Their sacrifice shall not be forgotten, and one day their killers and their masters will be held accountable.

Last evening, Kenyans listened to a press briefing by Mr. Kipchumba Murkomen, the CS in charge of a critical docket in the Republic of Kenya.
I am vindicated.
Kenyans are more convinced than ever before that my position has all along been true and factual; we have the most clueless Minister in charge of security since independence.
The man is lost in ideas, arguments and conclusions.
The first and most important duty of the police is deterrence of crime. Mr Murkomen argues that he has intelligence reports that goons were being organized to commit crimes today.
Interesting!
What has he done about it? If he is aware of their plans why can’t he stop them? Is he unwilling to stop them or he lacks capacity or what does he want ordinary Kenyans to do if he is crying as the CS for Interior?
Since he is aware that goons will be destroying property, will he allow it to happen then arrest people later or hold another presser and report them to Kenyans?
Why is he unwilling to give a categorical answer that police will protect property and the state-sponsored millitia that him and his colleagues have organized and will not be allowed to cause violence?
He carelessly says that politicians from the opposition are organizing goons; Why can’t he arrest these goons?
He further asserts with authority that leaders allied to Government will be attacked; I trust he has made arrangements to protect them and their properties though they already have Government armed security.
As if that isn't unintelligent enough, he adds that some Bussinessmen will be attacked for refusing to finance politicians. Since he knows them, then he must make arrangements to protect them.
It is my take that since the Government knows goons will attack citizens and Bussiness, then it should not happen since the Government has sufficient capacity to stop it and arrest the goons while in action.
Unfortunately and sadly so, the real goons will not be arrested because they are organized by Government.
The Police have clear instructions to allow goons wreck havoc and only intervene later by arresting innocent people. Leaders in the opposition will be arrested later for allegedly financing the attacks.
There will be stage-managed attacks on leaders allied to Government and accuse opposition leaders of inciting people against them. The script is so clear. Blame the opposition and get the affected leaders some sympathy.
Let Mr. Murkomen stop the goons since he has confirmed there will be goons attacking people.
It is his work.
What does he want ordinary Kenyans to do? It will not happen. The whole thing is his plan.
He has recruited, financed and deployed the goons to cause mayhem and later blame the opposition. If he hasn’t, they there will be no goons and there will be no violence.
It is common knowledge among Kenyans, because they are intelligent, that if goons were organised by the opposition, they would not be let to get anywhere near citizens' property. They would be shot on sight and others arrested. Goons terrorize Kenyans with impunity and never arrested because they are state goons.
That is why they move in police vehicles and walk with the police. No wonder Mr. Murkomen is so kind to them that he calls them watchmen!
And in any case, the National police service is supposed to be independent. The Minister should comment on policy. IG is in charge of operations.
Why is Mr. Murkomen discussing police operations?
He has taken over the National police service and created parallel command. He has introduced goonism in the police service. He has forced police commanders to work with goons!
Mr. Murkomen, do your work. Do not forget that ICC is beckoning you and your masters.
A letter notifying the police of today’s peaceful march to Parliament marking the second anniversary of June 25th and stating that Kenyans will be marching countrywide, was delivered to Police Spokesman Michael Nyaga Muchiri by five lawyers.
Here is the video we recorded as the letter was handed over in the presence of former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, former Justice Minister and Senior Counsel Martha Karua, Professor of Law and Senior Counsel Kivutha Kibwana, Senior Counsel Gitobu Imanyara and Senior Counsel James Orengo.
The police had sufficient time to prepare to protect marchers and ensure that no goons infiltrate to harm protesters or loot businesses.
It is the duty of the police to protect lives and property for all and to arrest criminals. If any goons appear today and are not arrested, we shall know they are working for President Ruto.

Gen Z did more than reject a Finance Bill, they rewired our politics. From TikTok spaces to court corridors, they disrupted the old script of tribal mobilisation and elite bargains by insisting that public power answer to constitutional principle and economic justice. Their leaderless, tribeless, crowd-sourced organising exposed how quickly informed citizens can fact-check officials, decode bills and turn legalese into rallying cries for accountability. In doing so, they reminded the country that Article 1 is not a slogan but a living reality. All sovereign power belongs to the people, and those who exercise it do so on terms.
Gen Z forced courts to speak faster, MPs to apologise and an Executive that had grown tone-deaf to finally listen. They made institutions feel public pressure in real time and showed that silence in the face of abuse of power is a professional and generational betrayal. Our duty now is to entrench that energy into institutions and not let it fade with the news cycle. If Gen Z could reclaim the streets and the digital public square, the least we can do is ensure that their courage is translated into lasting legal, policy and cultural reform, not another round of cosmetic concessions.
As this moment continues to unfold, let it also be guided by responsibility. Stay safe, remain peaceful and look out for one another. The strength of a movement is not only in its conviction but in its discipline and care for human life. Be each other’s keepers because the future we are demanding must also be one we protect.
When the government is push to the corner, it is only Charles who can help articulate meaningful issues as far as security is concern anyway Standard is in war with ruto .....
