Kasmuel McOure Chased Away by Protesters at Nairobi Anti-Femicide March(Video)
Kasmuel McOure, a well-known political activist, found himself at the center of controversy on Tuesday when protesters chased him away during an anti-femicide march in Nairobi’s Central Business District.
The dramatic incident, captured on video, shows the protesters calling McOure a “thief” and “traitor” as he attempted to join their ranks, ultimately forcing him to flee the scene for his safety.
Once a prominent figure in the Gen Z protests, McOure had garnered significant attention for his outspoken activism. However, his popularity has taken a significant hit in recent months.
The decline began after he joined the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) led by Raila Odinga and publicly announced his political ambitions.
Many critics now label him an opportunist, accusing him of abandoning his revolutionary stance for political gain.
The protests, organized to raise awareness about the ongoing femicide crisis in Kenya, took a dramatic turn as McOure’s attempt to participate was met with swift rejection.

Demonstrators were quick to express their disdain, reflecting a broader sentiment among some Kenyans who feel disillusioned by activists who later align themselves with political figures.
WATCH:
McOure’s involvement in the protests had initially sparked hopes for a continued fight against injustice, but his actions appear to have turned him into a polarizing figure.
His critics argue that by aligning with established politicians, he has compromised his integrity and abandoned the values of grassroots activism.
The clash highlights a growing divide within Kenyan activism, as some struggle to maintain authenticity in the face of political pressures.
As the country grapples with issues like femicide and corruption, the public is increasingly scrutinizing the motives of those who claim to be fighting for change.
For Kasmuel McOure, Tuesday’s incident may mark a turning point in his political and activist career. With his credibility now questioned by both supporters and detractors, the path ahead could prove challenging.
