“You showed bravery in the face of police brutality because you dared to exercise your constitutionally guaranteed rights will be remembered as one of the most significant milestones and watershed moments in our 61-year history,” he added.
Kenya recently witnessed protests that differed from typical political demonstrations. These protests in Kenya transcended regional, political, ethnic, social, and economic boundaries.
They reflected Kenyans’ growing concern about the high cost of living, ongoing governance issues, corruption, foreign debt, and rising inflation rates.
The protests resulted in a variety of outcomes and consequences, including the rejection of the Finance Bill 2024, changes in Cabinet secretaries, and suspension of re-appointments in the civil service.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported that 39 people were killed during the anti-government protests.
Kalonzo told the faithful that the protests would change Kenya forever.

“Your call to duty, holding our Kenyan flag and peacefully marching through our streets to hold Executive and Legislative authorities accountable, has left an indelible impression on our minds and hearts,” he said.
“Because of your extraordinary and selfless actions, particularly your refusal to be silenced, Kenya will never be the same again. You have inspired all of us to hope for a better present and future.”
Kalonzo added that members of the media community are also his heroes.
“You’ve been tear-gassed, shot at, and clobbered with police batons. Yet you have stood up, reporting in real-time without fear, the atrocities committed by this brutal regime in real-time, fearlessly. Hongera!” he said.
