<\/a><\/p>\nGovernor Orengo praised the courage and resilience of citizens who participated in the commemorative activities, whether by taking to the streets or observing the day from their homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mask has completely fallen. It is now undeniably evident that the goons unleashed to harass peaceful citizens were state-sponsored and operating under police escort. But intimidation cannot silence a nation,\u201d Orengo said.<\/p>\n
The governor noted that despite challenges and resistance, protesters successfully marched to Parliament where they laid a wreath in honor of the young Kenyans who died during last year’s demonstrations.<\/p>\n
He described the fallen protesters as heroes whose sacrifice continues to inspire the country’s pursuit of justice, accountability, and democratic freedoms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey tried to bury our youth; they forgot they were seeds. The struggle for a just Kenya continues,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The anniversary events were marked by renewed calls for justice, protection of constitutional freedoms, and accountability for those responsible for the deaths and injuries witnessed during the 2024 protests.<\/p>\n
Orengo urged Kenyans to remain steadfast in defending democracy and ensuring that the voices of young people continue to shape the country’s future.<\/p>\n
