Kenyans have vowed to continue with tomorrows demonstration despite government warnings.

Edith Wanjiku Kamau and Hezbon Bahati both victims of police brutality say that they are ready for the upcoming protests, calling for justice.

Speaking to Spice FM on Tuesday, June 24, Bahati says no one will stand in the way to agitate for justice and accountability.

“As much as they might have taken away some lives, we are not bowing down, we are not fighting with anyone, we are fighting with the bad governance, we are seeking accountability and justice, “said Bahati.

This comes few hours after Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen announced that police will not relent on protestors.

Murkomen decried the growing wave of street protests, calling them politically motivated attempts to destabilise the country.

“Some of those calling for protests today were just recently standing where I am, defending law and order. Now they are planning, buying machetes, distributing them to young people to cause violence in town,” he said.

“The National Police must be ruthless in dealing with such criminals. We want this country to be one of law and order not of chaos so we can all thrive.”

Wanjiku, the mother of the late Ibrahim Kamau a protester killed in the demonstration, said she was emotionally prepared to mark the anniversary, in honour of her late son.

““Honestly, I am very ready… because the two were like twins. Even now, he says he will attend the protest. They shot him at close range. Two bullets to the neck. The pistol used fires two rounds at once. That’s what killed him,” said Wanjiku.

She accuses the government for keeping silent even after filing a case against those who were involved.

 “The government is completely unbothered. It’s like they accepted what happened to our children. Since we recorded our statement with IPOA, nothing has come from them on case,” said Wanjiku, sentiment echoed by Bahati.

“The government is failing us. When we ask for justice, they remain silent or respond. All they do is show off their wealth, flaunting it in our faces while we are out here crying. “Bahati said.

But President William Ruto expressed support for the police for their role in safeguarding the nation.

“The people who put their lives on the line to make sure our families are safe, that our nation is safe and stable, are our security agencies. I give you my assurance that the government will support you, will stand by you,” the President said.

Wanjiku however, pleaded to president Ruto, to ensure accountability of the police who are involved in police brutality.

“I appeal to the President to ensure justice for all is served. I pray that those police officers who shot at the youths during the protests, who are known and still on duty, should also be held accountable,” Wanjiku said.
