PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release
We are deeply concerned by the alarming trend witnessed during recent peaceful demonstrations, where a militia group has been seen operating in coordination with police officers. This group, caught on video destroying property and looting from businesses, must be held accountable. These are the individuals who should be apprehended and investigated without delay.
It is unacceptable for voices of dissent to be silenced through arrests and unfounded allegations of incitement. The right to peaceful assembly and expression must be respected and protected at all times.
The government must stop ignoring the cries of ordinary Kenyans, who are grappling with unbearable economic conditions, widespread youth unemployment, a collapsing healthcare system, and a failing education sector. In truth, very little is working for the common citizen.
In light of these injustices, we firmly call for the immediate and unconditional release of Manyatta Constituency Member of Parliament, Hon. Gitonga Mukunji, whose only “offense” appears to be standing with his people.
