\nSpeaking during a public engagement, Orengo accused the administration of William Ruto of reducing human life into monetary value, arguing that the proposed Ksh 2 billion allocation is insufficient and fails to address the deeper issue of justice.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\nHe emphasized that the loss of life cannot be compensated through financial payouts alone, insisting that accountability, arrests, and prosecution of those responsible are necessary to deliver true justice to affected families.<\/p>\n
Orengo further alleged that the government is showing signs of political anxiety ahead of the upcoming Gen Z memorial events scheduled around June 24, suggesting increased public pressure may be influencing state responses.
\nHe called on authorities to prioritize transparency, justice, and national healing rather than focusing solely on financial compensation packages.<\/p>\n
