Activists, Including Kasmuel McOure, Announce Fresh Protests Starting Tomorrow
Activists have announced plans to stage protests on Tuesday to commemorate 14 years since the enactment of the constitution and to push for reforms.
The fresh demonstrations aim to reignite anti-government protests that began in June.
Predominantly youth-led, the activists express frustration over the rising cases of abductions and enforced disappearances that have plagued the nation in recent times.
The group, composed mainly of young people, emphasizes that the peaceful protests are focused on addressing key issues like justice, corruption, and unemployment.
Protesters argue that President William Ruto has yet to meet the demands of the Kenyan people, making it necessary to sustain pressure through continued demonstrations.
Following a meeting, several activists were arrested while attempting to hold a peaceful protest in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD), which they described as a prelude to Katiba Day.
The protesters took to the streets, chanting anti-government slogans and carrying placards, vowing to continue until corrupt officials are held accountable and prosecuted.

“Tomorrow, August 27, Katiba Day won’t just be a day of remembrance, it will be a day of mass action,” declared Brooker Omolo, Chairman of the People’s Assembly.
“We are calling for a general strike, protesting against the tyranny of William Ruto, and demanding his immediate resignation. We won’t stop until justice prevails.”
Activist Wanjira Wanjiru condemned the government for ongoing abductions and urged action.
“We can’t live in a country that’s essentially a crime scene and remain silent. We must confront corruption, abductions, and extrajudicial police killings,” she stressed.
Activist Kasmuel Mcoure called on the public to reflect on whether the Constitution is being upheld.
“As the Katiba turns 14 tomorrow, we invite you to take a moment and question whether the constitution that grants us rights is being honored,” he said.
Kenya’s current constitution was enacted on August 27, 2010, under former President Mwai Kibaki. The planned Katiba Day protests align with the 14th anniversary of the constitution’s promulgation.
