Activists, Including Kasmuel McOure, Announce Fresh Protests Starting Tomorrow
Activists, Including Kasmuel McOure, Announce Fresh Protests To mark 14 years of the constitution.
According to the group, the peaceful protests are aimed at addressing several issues including justice, corruption and unemployment.
The protesters argued that President William Ruto has not yet addressed the demands of Kenyans making it necessary to continue the efforts to hold the country accountable through demos
However, after their meeting, a number of them were arrested as they tried to hold a peaceful protest in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) in what they termed as a warm-up for Katiba Day.
The protesters marched through the streets chanting anti-government protest songs while carrying placards.
“Tomorrow, August 27, Katiba Day will not just be a day of commemoration, it will be a day of mass action,” Chairman of Peoples Assembly, Brooker Omolo stated.
“We are announcing a general strike, a protest against the tyranny of William Ruto and a demand for his immediate resignation. We will not rest until justice is done.”
On her part, Wanjira Wanjiru condemned the government for continued abductions and called for action.
“We cannot continue living in an active crime scene and do nothing about it, we cannot continue with the wake of corruption, abductions and police killings,” she warned.
Activist Kasmuel Mcoure, on his part, asked the public to join the call and take a moment to find out the constitution of Kenya is being respected.
“We are inviting you tomorrow as the Katiba turns 14. We are asking you to take a short break and ask yourselves whether this constitution that gives us rights has been respected,” he urged.
