Why would police use teargas and ammunition to disperse mourners ?

42 bodies of women were found dismembered and dumped at Kware. The man who confessed to killing them “escaped” in 2024 and has never been found. This is the same police service that can deploy hundreds of officers in hours to break up a peaceful protest. When it wants to find someone, it finds them. Two years of silence tells Kenyan women exactly how seriously their lives are taken. Femicide is a national emergency, and it must be treated as one, with the same urgency, resources, and resolve this state shows for everything else it decides matters. #ActNowToEndGBV #TuunganeTujikomboe Radio Maisha

I stand with fellow regional leaders to decry violations that include brutal assaults, the humiliation of women political actors, and the use of sexual violence as a tool of political intimidation. What is happening in Uganda is not an internal matter; it is a regional and continental emergency that demands urgent action. For every suppressed voice, more emerge. These acts are atrocious and reprehensible, but they will not prevail.

For over a decade, I have not held an elected office. Yet my commitment to justice, constitutionalism, and the rights of Kenyans has never wavered. I did not enter public life in search of status or privilege. I entered it to serve and that purpose remains unchanged. The struggle for a better Kenya does not begin at the ballot box, nor does it end with an election. It is a lifelong commitment to the people. #TuunganeTujikomboe Sifa Fm LionObimbo Media

In yesterday’s hearing for Dr. Kizza Besigye, the prosecution arrived nearly two hours late, yet again causing delays in a case that has seen nothing but prosecution-driven delays from the start. Dr. Kizza and his co-accused were already in the dock waiting. The defense asked the court to dismiss the application given the prosecutor's absence, but another date was given instead. The prosecution has failed to meet its own disclosure deadlines and is now asking the court to hide the identities of six key witnesses from the defence. Why delay the course of justice? We will keep asking that question, in that courtroom, outside it and everywhere it needs to be heard. #FreeKizza

Today, alongside fellow opposition leaders and members of the Linda Mwananchi movement, we addressed the escalating pattern of political violence and intimidation in the country. We have seen political gatherings disrupted, convoys attacked, citizens assaulted and goons openly deployed to intimidate those exercising their constitutional rights. Homa Bay is the latest example of a pattern that is untenable and should not be tolerated. Many of those involved in this state sponsored goonism have been captured clearly on camera. Why have we not seen those responsible and those who organise, finance and enable them held to account? The contest for Kenya’s future must be fought with ideas and decided by the people at the ballot. No act of intimidation should ever have a place in that contest. #EndPoliticalViolence

Any Kenyan can denounce this bill in church, on the street, on television. We’ve been doing that. It is only in Parliament elected MPs can speak out and enact tax relief or more tax pain! 187 of them were not present to do the job citizens employed them to do!

As a young activist, my own family worried when we took a stand against injustice and challenged those in power. But I always came home. Mama Rex's son did not, Eric Shieni did not, Evans Kiratu did not, Denzel Omondi and many other children who answered the call of conscience in June 2024 but did not make it home. June 25th is a day to remember young Kenyans who believed enough in their country to stand up for it. A day to stand with the families who continue to carry that loss and a day to affirm that no Kenyan should lose their life for demanding accountability, justice, and a better future. On June 25th, let us stand together in remembrance, solidarity, and hope for those we lost and the families they left behind.

Throughout my years in public office, I understood that every day I served, I was accountable to the Kenyan people. There was no room for complacency because the work was about delivering on the mandate entrusted to me. That same conviction will guide me as President, to lead with diligence, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of every Kenyan. #MarthaKarua2027

Today, I’m joining fellow advocates and the Law Society of Kenya in a March for Justice following the tragic deaths of Advocates Edward Muthee Kariuki and Esther Wairimu Keige. We stand in solidarity with their families, colleagues, and every Kenyan demanding truth, accountability, and justice. Those responsible must be identified, prosecuted, and held fully accountable.

People's Liberation Party (PLP) Secretary General Asha Bashir spoke a truth very plainly: imetosha! Sixteen years since Kenyans fought for a Constitution that guaranteed the protection of women and children and the government still treats that guarantee as a work in progress. We are not asking for a new promise, that promise was already made in Article 29, in the blood and sweat of everyone who fought for the document we now hold. What is missing is the will to enforce it. A mandate written into our founding document is a duty. Sixteen years of waiting is enough. It is time to #ActNowToEndGBV.

Today, alongside H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka and Hon. Justin Muturi and members of the Alternative Government, we called for an immediate end to the escalating culture of political intolerance and organized goonism. The attacks on the Linda Mwananchi rally in Kisii were not isolated incidents. They are part of a deliberate pattern of political intolerance designed to deny Kenyans their constitutional freedoms. We refuse to accept violence as the price of political participation. Those responsible must be brought to justice, and the State must demonstrate through action, not words that no one is above the law. If political violence is tolerated today, no Kenyan's rights will be safe tomorrow.

We hear the painful reality that many survivors of gender-based violence are forced to recount their experience repeatedly to the police, healthcare providers, investigators, prosecutors, and in court. Each retelling reopens wounds. For too many, the process becomes so overwhelming that they abandon their pursuit of justice altogether. This is a failure of our institutions. Kenya must adopt a survivor-centred justice system that minimizes repeated testimony by strengthening coordination between agencies, and expanding access to trauma-informed support which will ensure GBV cases are heard and concluded without unnecessary delay. Let us build institutions that protect survivors with dignity and hold perpetrators swiftly to account. #ActNowToEndGBV

From Kampala straight to Kisii county where the people are known for their resilience and fierce spirit. Today they reminded us all exactly why. Together with the United Opposition, we brought one message and you echoed it with us, WANTAM! We see you and we are ready. Chukua kura! Kenya ni yetu! #Wantam #MarthaKarua2027 #UnitedOpposition #GusiiHasSpoken
