Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has condemned the police officers who allegedly shot and killed protesters outside the Parliament buildings.
Nyamu, known for her outspoken views on national issues, called on the government to hold accountable the officers responsible for the deaths during the protests.
“Why shoot to kill? Why fire live bullets at unarmed protesters? Explain! Is Parliament more important than the lives of our children? They just wanted to be heard,” Nyamu wrote on her Instagram page.
“President William Samoei Ruto, it’s time to take action against those unprofessional officers who killed protesters! They are tarnishing your administration in the worst manner! You’re just raising revenue; we are not at war!”
Nyamu emphasized that the misconduct and unprofessional behavior of certain police officers have severely damaged public trust and safety. She urged a thorough investigation into the allegations of police misconduct and called for strict measures to ensure accountability.
She highlighted the need to restore public confidence in the police force by addressing these issues transparently and effectively. Nyamu’s statements reflect a broader call for reforms within the security sector to enhance professionalism, integrity, and respect for human rights among law enforcement personnel.
Yesterday, police were seen firing live bullets at protesters, who were unarmed and only using their voices and phones to express their grievances. Several people are feared dead, while others are nursing their wounds in hospitals across the country.
Despite the violence, many vowed on social media to continue protesting until their voices are heard and action is taken against the Finance Bill. However, in his address to the nation, President Ruto did not acknowledge the protesters’ concerns, instead labeling them as criminals who would be dealt with appropriately.
