KENYANS DEMONSTRATE TO STATE HOUSE – VIDEO

Police officers were on Saturday, May 1, deployed in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) following a protest by workers and human rights defenders. 

Photos and videos seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed teargas thrown near the National archives building. Reports indicated that one activist had already been arrested.

The protestors vowed to match to State House to get the attention of President Uhuru Kenyatta, whom they wanted to listen to their problems.

Part of the issues they want to be addressed include; lifting of the partial lockdown and dusk to dawn curfew, provision of food for everyone, an immediate end to police killings and brutality and state repression.

Others included; access to free and quality healthcare, provision of clean water, decent housing, equitable access to jobs, free education, an immediate end to gender based violence and others.

The hashtag, “#PeoplesMarchToStateHouse”, trended the better part of Friday, April 30, with activists demanding that their voices be heard.
