If 🇰🇪 allows arbitrary abductions to continue, then we will give the same cautions to our children that our parents gave us: “Don’t even whisper your leader’s name, bad things will happen”.

Good afternoon, friends. Yesterday evening, another innocent young Kenyan fell victim to the draconion tactics of rogue police officers. Shadrack Kiprono was violently abducted by unidentified persons believed to be intelligence officers in South B while getting into his vehicle.

In Nairobi’s Central Business District, thousands of peaceful protestors demonstrate against #RejectFinanceBill2024. Tear gas fills in the air as security forces throw canisters left and right. But people are undeterred. I’ve covered many demos in Kenya but this is unprecedented

Unprecedented times. After weeks of protests and increased scrutiny on gov’t excess, #Kenya’s President dissolves almost all of his cabinet after appraising their performance. He also pledged to “slay the dragon of corruption.” Kenyans are watching #GenZ

Very grim day at Mukuru wa Njenga as 100+ people looked on at dumpsite where several mutilated female bodies were found. People were visibly disturbed. Comes amid heightened concern about abductions and disappearances. Pressure is on for DCI and IPOA to investigate. #Kenya
