SECURITY ALERT ON OVER-SPILLING OF JUNE 25TH PROTESTS

Security experts have issued a security alert as post-protest unrest from the June 25th protests might spill over following kenyans' dissatisfaction with the current administration and their governance.
Mikhail Nyamweya, a political analyst, said the trust of many Kenyans, especially younger people in the government remains low and they view the administration as “unresponsive and detached from everyday struggles”.
“Despite promises of reform, the Kenyan youth view the state as incapable of delivering and always quick to suppress dissent through coercive means,” he said. “Continued reports of human rights violations and inadequate accountability have reinforced the perception that little has changed.”
Recent demonstrations, including those over the death of Ojwang, have been infiltrated by men whom protesters have described as hired goons who disrupt protests by beating and robbing peaceful demonstrators.
The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops criticised excessive use of force by police during demonstrations. “A society that instils fear in its youth for simply speaking out is a society walking away from justice,” Nyeri archbishop Anthony Muheria said at a press conference. “The government’s primary responsibility is to protect its citizens, not to threaten, silence, or punish them.”
