MP Kaluma Claims Demos Are Over, Demands Police To Arrest Protesters
Homa Bay Town MP Peter Opondo Kaluma has called on the National Police Service to arrest protesters, claiming that lawful demonstrations against the recently withdrawn punitive Finance Bill 2024 have ended.
On Friday, August 9, 2024, Kaluma stated that the current protesters were ‘saboteurs’.
The right to demonstrate exists to advance good courses.

Lawful demonstrations over Finance Bill, 2024 long ended. What we now have are anarchists destroying Kenya’s economy under the guise of exercising the right to demonstrate.
Arrest and prosecute all the sabboteurs.@NPSC_KE
“The right to demonstrate exists to advance good courses. Lawful demonstrations over Finance Bill, 2024 long ended,” Kaluma said.
“What we now have are anarchists destroying Kenya’s economy under the guise of exercising the right to demonstrate. Arrest and prosecute all the saboteurs.”
The remarks follow Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya coalition party spokesperson Makau Mutua’s statement that the clamour by the young generation Zs was over and that the country should strive to achieve the ideals championed by youth.
The GEN Z revolt is OVER, but its IDEALS aren’t DEAD. A more cataclysmic reckoning is coming unless Kenya works hard and unceasingly to meet those ideals.

“The Gen Z revolt is over, but its ideals aren’t dead. A more cataclysmic reckoning is coming unless Kenya works hard and unceasingly to meet those ideals,” Mutua said on X.
The nominee for Attorney General of Kenya, Dorcas Oduor, emphasised the need to operationalize the Victims Compensation Act and board, which is domiciled at the office of the Attorney General.
Oduor said this while appearing before a parliament committee on appointments on Friday.
