Statement by Mr. KC regarding the violence in Kenya and the widespread anti-government protests
Thursday, 10 July 2025 – Reports indicate that numerous individuals have lost their lives, while hundreds have sustained injuries and been arrested due to the police’s excessive use of force during the anti-government demonstrations occurring across Kenya’s 47 counties, including Nairobi, Kajiado, Nyeri, Mombasa, Kisii, Embu, Kisumu, Kiambu, Meru, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Vihiga, Narok, Kirinyaga, Uasin Gishu, Tharaka Nithi, Makueni, Laikipia, and Kakamega.
The President of the country, William Ruto, has instructed the police to open fire on protesters. I am profoundly disturbed by the loss of life and the police’s use of “lethal ammunition” against demonstrators.
I unequivocally condemn all violations of human rights and call for accountability from all parties involved, including law enforcement, civilians, and other stakeholders.
The citizens of the Republic of Kenya desire peace and development, free from violence and conflict. I am dedicated to facilitating peace discussions in Kenya as part of my Global Peace 2030 initiative.
