Pale kwa Matanga ya One of Utumishi Girls Academy fire victim mambo Yalichemka! A student who survived the fire decided to speak her raw truth as she pointed the hard-eyes of some of the Teachers present at the burial who she claims are pretenders who have been lying about the incident despite knowing the truth and despite being at the scene but doing nothing to help. The student alleges the Matron who is alleged was not in school at the time was at the Scene but didn't even lift a finger to try break the locks from outside but watched like kwenda huko as her peers got roasted in their screams. Amesema walimwengu na Mungu awasamehe tu lakini yeye she has zero msamaha to offer them. Ilibidi anyang'anywe tu mike akitolewa kwa podium.

I met Gaddhaffy-Dit in April. He had information on high-level corruption in South Sudan and shared it with journalists and diplomats because he was afraid. The looters of S. Sudan had placed a $5 million bounty on his head. Kenya sold him out for cash. reuters.com/world/africa/sou…
We have received credible information that Athorbey Al-Gaddhaffy-Dit (Gaddafi Athorbey), abducted in Nairobi on 10 June 2026, was unlawfully deported to South Sudan and is currently being held at a military detention facility in Juba. We demand: • Guarantees of his safety, physical integrity, and access to medical care; • Immediate and unhindered access to his family and legal representatives; • A prompt, independent, and transparent investigation by Kenyan authorities into his abduction; • Accountability for all individuals and entities responsible, regardless of rank or affiliation. #FreeGaddafiAthorbey

On July 5, 2025, Martin Mavenjina, a Ugandan-born senior legal advisor at the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), was forcibly deported to Uganda. Martin had lived in Kenya for 13 years, was married to a Kenyan, and together they have two children. On July 6, 2025, armed and masked goons stormed the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) offices in Lavington. The attack targeted a peaceful press briefing by mothers of victims of police brutality (Mothers’ Forum), organised ahead of Saba Saba commemorations and protests. The goons overpowered security, invaded the compound, disrupted the meeting, issued threats, robbed the mothers and journalists, and forced everyone to disperse. CCTV footage clearly captured the raid. The police did not arrest a single perpetrator. Yesterday, the government sent goons to disrupt a meeting organised by the KHRC and other civil society actors. People were robbed and the meeting was violently broken up. Makau Mutua, co-founder of the KHRC and its long-serving former chairperson, is now Senior Advisor on Constitutional Affairs in the Executive Office of the President. He was appointed to that role in April 2025. Since then, the KHRC and civil society organisations have faced more attacks than ever. What if Makau is the one advising the president on how to silence independent voices, scuttle grassroots movements, and defy court orders? His silence amid this state-organised violence is not only disturbing but also a betrayal of who he once was. To civil society actors and progressive politicians: We must unite and organise together, or we will perish like fools. Ruto’s ruthlessness is not going to stop. He will do anything including shutting down organisations, abducting and assassinating leaders in a futile attempt to secure a second term. This is the time to form a united front and go on the offensive. Playing nice, nice, hasn’t brought Martin Mavenjina back to his family, nor has it stopped the attacks on you. Finally, some leadership in civil society spaces are suspected to be National Intelligence Service moles. Organise in small cells, not in large group settings. Also, moving forward, when organising meetings, ensure security is very tight. Recruit youth from the community to provide backup security, because as you witnessed yesterday, the police did not help. x.com/TISAKenya/status/20653…

On 18 May 2026, police shot dead 20 people who were protesting fuel prices — 20 of them in a single day. In the month of May alone, police responded to peaceful protests with live gunfire, killing 24 people in total and injuring tens of others. We still do not know whether the four bodies exhumed from a shallow mass grave in Mwingi were protesters shot by police or victims of extrajudicial killings. No action has been taken against the killer officers or their superiors, who continue sending masked men to shoot protesters. So far during this month of June, the police have killed three people protesting against Ruto importing Ebola to Kenya, and injured many others. This week, masked men in civilian clothes entered a university campus and shot four students who were protesting the cancellation of their exams. Victor Kariuki and Abubakar Fugicha were admitted in serious condition to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) with bullets lodged in their bodies. In April 2025, the High Court ruled that all police officers deployed to manage protests and public assemblies must be easily identifiable. They are prohibited by law from wearing masks, balaclavas, or civilian clothing and must display visible name tags or service numbers on their official uniforms. However, Ruto and Murkomen have a group of killers whom they dispatch to peaceful protests, with the sole mission of maiming and killing participants. Protests are not favours to citizens — they are a guaranteed right in the Constitution. You do not need a licence to protest. You only need to notify the police at least three days but not more than 14 days in advance, after which you may protest peacefully. Since June 2024, however, Ruto has turned protesting into a matter of life and death, with no hesitation in ordering police to shoot people. He's on record telling police to go ahead and shoot people in the leg, take them to hospital and then to court. Rex Masai, one of the first victims of the 2024 anti-finance bill protests, was shot in the leg and died from excessive bleeding after the bullet severed an artery. Ruto's order to shoot people in the legs, not only displayed his complete insensitivity to the loss suffered by Rex's mother, but also sent a chilling message to all mothers that he was willing to kill their children for simply opposing him. He has chosen to violate the Constitution by denying protesting Kenyans their right to life. In 14 days time, there will be peaceful marches countrywide to mark 25 June — the national holiday when, in 2024, Gen Z protesters entered Parliament and took power back to the people. It is important that we demand an end to this state-sponsored brutality, so that no more families have to bury their sons or daughters because of bloodthirsty police officers targeting young people. As we mark 25 June 2026, we must unite to stop our youth from being butchered. #RutoStopKillingUs #HakiSASA

Armed, masked men abducted Al-Gaddhaffy Dit Athorbey in Kilimani on Monday night. Gaddhaffy is a Kenyan-South Sudanese citizen. He is allegedly being held at JKIA awaiting deportation to South Sudan, where he is likely to be murdered for exposing corruption in that country.

Kenyan police only respect a particular skin colour, or a person’s status based on their proximity to power or wealth. They would rush to arrest a black man (a retired Chief Justice), rather than touch a white person or an Indian. Yesterday’s protest had white, Indian, and black people - all citizens of this country. Yet, when the police decided to arrest the protestors, they went for the kind of people the Kenyan police is trained to beat, shoot, and sometimes arrest. Black people. The Indian and white people were allowed to return peacefully back to their homes. One of my mentees, who is Indian, had been working for weeks to mobilise for yesterday’s protest. He went to the people who frequently visit Nairobi National Park daily - the ones who own lodges, hotels and tour vans, the ones who have published photography books with beautiful images of the park and sell prints of the photos they take - but they refused to stand against the destruction of Nairobi National Park. Even without building the controversial parking lot, Nairobi National Park is already dying. Uhuru ignored all reason and built a railway through the park. The unchecked urban encroachment and the loss of crucial wildlife migration corridors, driven by human settlements and industries in areas such as Kitengela, Athi River, and Rongai, have been slowly killing the park. And not only are they building a parking lot, but they also want to build a new state-of-the-art orphanage in the park, which they cite as justification for the parking lot. They want to take away healthy, pristine, and wild land to put up buildings and enclosures to hold wild animals for people to come and gape at. Orphanages are meant to rehabilitate and rewild animals. Not to commercialise wildlife viewing in a country with numerous parks. Roughly 11% to 16% of Kenya's total land area - roughly 9 million hectares – comprises parks and wildlife conservancies. In addition, the current Nairobi orphanage is so badly run and neglected. People who can’t manage a bird cage want to build a big zoo. No sane architect would design a KSh 30 billion convention centre without considering parking spaces, but that’s what Bomas International Convention Complex has done, so that Ruto can use that excuse to grab a bit of Nairobi National Park. But I digress. I am writing this with complete sincerity as someone who has friends and supporters from all races and communities in Kenya and around the world. Yesterday’s arrest of only black people at the march also speaks to the huge racial divide that exists in the minds of the officers on the ground and those above them about arresting brown and white people. The trade union in Kenya was started by an Indian, Makhan Singh, who was imprisoned by the British colonial government. Makhan Singh served 11 years in political detention, the longest in Kenya's pre-independence history. There is the Vidyarthi family, who used their printing press to advocate for black and Indian rights during the colonial days, and supported pro-democracy movements during the Moi dictatorship days. There is Eruch Nowrojee, a lawyer who represented the Mau Mau fighters, and his son Senior Counsel Pheroze Nowrojee, who fought for democracy, justice and represented political dissidents. His daughter Binaifer Nowrojee is in the trenches promoting democracy and human rights globally. Tired of corruption and bad governance, a white Kenyan, Dr Richard Leakey, founded the Safina Party in 1995 alongside Senior Counsel Paul Muite. The name, which means "Ark" in Swahili, was intended to symbolize a rescue mission for Kenya’s political and economic systems. It was a medical doctor and Human Rights activist Ling Kituyi, a Norwegian-Kenyan, who founded the Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU), an organisation that was founded to treat Kenyans who were brutalised, shot or tortured during the Moi days. They were dedicated then, and to date, to preventing and responding to torture, extrajudicial killings, and related human rights violations. It’s IMLU who provided the experts and forensic doctors to document my torture injuries from Tanzania. However, the majority of the grandchildren of the Kenyan Indians and white Kenyan settlers who have the wealth and power to support change, cover their eyes and ears and remain quiet when injustice happens. Where has that spirit gone? Have comfort, privilege and resources diluted the courageous blood that ran through the veins of their forefathers? If we're in this mess, aren't we all supposed to be in it together? Some of them own and run sweatshops in industrial area, where most of their employees are casual labourers, a workforce that forms the majority of slum dwellers. They’re the ones running flower farms that pay employees peanuts, while earning billions and living lavishly, while their employees are getting miscarriages and other complications. They control the luxury hotel industry, owning lodges and conservancies that charge thousands of dollars, while the local communities lack clean water or school libraries. They’re not willing to work with local communities to fight the bad governance which causes abject poverty but, instead, give politicians and their cronies company shares for “political protection.” In 2022, a leading presidential candidate collected Ksh 2 billion in a single day from the Indian business community. People were lining up at his office carrying duffel bags full of cash. They would meet with the candidate for 2-5 minutes, say which company they represented and how much was in the bag, and the candidate would note the amount and company so he would know whom he owed favours in the future, and the size of that favour. Like in all communities, I understand that there are people who contribute tirelessly from behind the scenes to the progress of our country. I am sure there are many who prefer to work in the safety of silence but, unfortunately, we live in a country where silence is deemed as weakness and that weakness is then exploited. The reason I bring this out is that the silence of the wealthy minority - the black Kenyans who have made it, the Indian and white community - will not save them. You can get private security, private schools, and afford the best lawyers, but when a government goes rogue, no amount of money will save you. When billionaires can be abducted, and board members get charged on flimsy grounds for refusing a hostile takeover, you’re not safe. It’s only a matter of time before someone in power decides they want to take what you have by force, and they will even have you murdered, if it comes to that. Four of the top five richest people in Kenya are Kenyan Indians, according to a 2022 Oxfam report. It’s time they, together with white Kenyans, joined the frontline in fighting for our rights. Going by the shameful police behaviour yesterday, they will not get arrested if they lead a protest or two. June 25th 2026, is a day of remembrance for the Gen Z heroes that we lost, and we would like to see the two races that are minorities in Kenya - but have more wealth, power, and influence - take part in the protest. At the end of the day, yesterday's protest was not about colour or status, even though the actions of the police stated so. The protest was about protecting the Nairobi National Park. A National Park belongs to the people! All people, of all colours. Just like our country does. So, let's act like it and stand side by side when it comes to fighting those who would break us, rather than build us.

This is how the police force were attacking peaceful Kenyans in Nanyuki, Laikipia County. They were raiding houses, removing and beating residents for exercising their constitutional rights. Someone would think they are immune to Ebola, tulia tunawapagia pia. #WeThePeopleKE

#PressStatement By 4 pm today, police deployed in Nanyuki shot and killed one protester. Locals hit the streets demanding transparency about the US-backed Ebola facility and solid guarantees for the protection of the public health. That brings the death toll linked to this facility and due to police fire to three. Last week, police extrajudicially killed two protesters. An autopsy showed one was shot straight in the chest, a single bullet causing massive bleeding. Today, police shot the third victim in the head. No accident there. Police act with open impunity, following orders from their command and the regime that has made it clear that our lives mean nothing to them. IPOA must move fast. The officers responsible must be held criminally liable for these killings. So should their command. No cover-ups.
