SabaSaba March For Our lives
- Thread starter Meria
- Start date
wasn't expecting that big a crowd.
but am sure when the teargas come, they scattered.
the day we will fight/demonstrate without fear of bullets and teargas might be the day real change comes.
but as long as we run, they'll still have power over us, and things won't change.
wish them all the best.

Why exactly are they marching?
Several civil society groups as well as veteran members of the Saba Saba movement and activists have planned a demonstration dubbed 'Saba Saba March for Our Lives' along Harambee Avenue in the capital on Tuesday, July 7.
The protest is centered on a single demand by the protesters; full implementation of the 2010 Constitution.
They argue that to secure gains fought for by the Saba Saba movement, implementation of the Kenya 2010 Constitution needed to be done to eradicate corruption, negative ethnicity and extra-judicial killings among other ills afflicting society today.

The Standard
With a history of protests in Kenya being dispersed by police using force, bullets and teargas, prominent activist Boniface Mwangi was among those who sought assurances from Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai that the protest would not be interrupted.
"On Tuesday, peaceful citizens will take part in Saba Saba March for Our Lives. You must ensure the National Police Service respect article 37 of the constitution, the right, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities," Mwangi wrote.
One of the veterans of the original Saba Saba movement, renowned lawyer John Khaminwa, told Kenyans.co.ke that he supported the calls to focus on the implementation of the 2010 Constitution.
Khaminwa was detained on multiple occasions alongside opposition veterans Kenneth Matiba, Charles Rubia and Raila Odinga as they agitated for a return to a multi-party system in Kenya.

Personally, I dismiss any demo offhand if I spot a mzungu participant. These are slum people paid mia mbili mbili to push a foreign agenda. Don't know why NIS allows it..........
