On Monday, police shot four unarmed students from Multimedia University inside their campus. The officers involved are reportedly from a special unit linked to abductions and extrajudicial killings. The incident was captured on camera, and a journalist who covered the story has already received veiled threats to stop exposing them or risk being harmed.
That same day in Laikipia, police shot and killed two people during protests against the construction of an anti-Ebola facility. One of the victims was 16-year-old Sylvester Ndung’u, a Form Three student.
On Friday, suspected government-hired goons stormed a budget dialogue forum at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi, attacking participants and robbing some of them.
On Saturday in Kakamega, government goons attacked a school bus carrying children returning from a music festival, injuring several pupils.
Mr Violence Ruto is brutalizing our children and attacking the soul of the nation. This must stop. We must unite now to demand an immediate end to the killings. Na sio tafadhali!

JUST IN: President Ruto says he is Kenya's chief diplomat and that critics don't understand why he travels so much.
But Kenyans are not children.
Mwai Kibaki travelled far less and delivered results people could see. Magufuli travelled far less, and Tanzania changed before people's eyes.
Ruto has made well over 120 foreign trips, signed hundreds of agreements, and spent billions on travel.
What exactly have these trips delivered?
Not promises. Not MoUs. Not press conferences.
Real projects. Real industries. Real jobs.
If a president travels that much, we should be able to point to major factories, industrial parks, railways, power plants, and investments that came from those trips.
Instead, Kenyans are being told to stop asking questions and simply trust the process.
Why?
This is why we track the flights. This is why we demand accountability. Public money was used, so the public deserves answers.
@citizentvkenya What if I was the one leasing the private jet to government as 5 million per hour? I would make sure the president is always in the air. What if I am also the president?
@GovLeeKinyanjui If Kenya is moving in the right direction, you would not need to write lengthy compositions to tell us about it. We would feel it on the ground. Only those who are stealing our taxes are saying that the country is moving in the right direction
