“Nane Nane march will be our final day in the streets” – Kasmuel McOure
A segment of Kenyan youth has committed to going ahead with the scheduled Thursday protests, describing it as their last effort to free the nation from the Kenya Kwanza regime’s grasp.
The youth, spearheaded by vocal political activist Kasmuel McOure, made this announcement during a press conference in Nairobi on Wednesday, stating that the August 8th mega-protest, now dubbed ‘Nane Nane,’ will be the most significant demonstration in recent history.
McOure mentioned that the protest will conclude with a march to State House, where the youth, united under the Gen Z banner, will seek to remove President William Ruto, whom they accuse of neglecting their concerns.
“Nane Nane will be our final day on the streets. We will take to the streets because the Kenya Kwanza regime has taken everything from us. We have clearly outlined our demands. We want to live in a country that provides us with land; a country that offers education; a country where children do not die from preventable diseases. Tomorrow marks a significant step forward in our history,” he stated.
“Tomorrow, as we march towards a new Republic, I want to assure you that the spirit of the Kenyan youth remains unbroken. We shall march for our rights and tomorrow we shall liberate this country!”
McOure also condemned the State’s security forces for using excessive force against protesters, warning that the youth would not tolerate armed police officers in civilian attire sent to disperse them.
“I want to give a stern warning to the State organ, the police force – not a police service – if we see unidentified men in civilian clothing, riding in government vehicles, we will treat them as robbers, as thieves, as colonizers,” he declared.

“I assure all Kenyans that we have not gathered here today in vain. We guarantee that we will not see those madmen on the streets. This country has reached a point where even Caucasians are brandishing weapons on the streets.”
The youth’s statements came as Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli warned that the planned anti-government demonstrations could be infiltrated by criminals, thereby posing a threat to the country’s security.
Masengeli pointed out that intelligence reports indicated the same, stressing that officers would not hesitate to confront the perpetrators.
“The initial demonstrations held in June were peaceful, but subsequent protests turned into riots, with looters destroying and stealing property,” he said.
“Our intelligence reports indicate that there are security threats to the country, with criminals planning to infiltrate tomorrow’s demonstrations and commit further crimes. In anticipation, we have ensured adequate deployment of personnel.”
While urging the public to remain vigilant during the protests, Masengeli also cautioned protesters against trespassing on protected areas like the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and State House.
“Everyone planning to exercise their right to protest should do so lawfully,” he said.
“Kenya is all we have. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every one of us to keep our country safe.”
