Activists Led By Prominent Senator To Storm Government Offices Along Harambee Avenue To Protest The Mandera Massacre

The country is mourning; from Ghafla offices to the villages where families lost their loved ones, everybody is in a sombre mood; that is for those who really know the pain of losing their loved ones.

As empty rhetoric from those supposed to ensure security for Kenyans becomes the order of the day, activists led by Kakamega County Senator Dr. Boni Khalwale, who calls himself Boni Mtetezi, have promised to stage demonstrations along Harambee Avenue to protest the rising levels of insecurity in Kenya.

28 innocent Kenyans faced the brutality of Alshaabab insurgents in Mandera, who ambushed the bus they were travelling in, paraded Christians and short them at close range, then fled to Somalia, thanks to the porous Kenyan border with the conflict laden state.

Pressure has been piling on Inspector General of Police, David Kimaiyo and his counterpart, Cabinet Secretary for Internal Security Joseph Ole Lenku to resign from their seats because they are believed to fail in their duties and this is among the reasons the demonstrations have been scheduled for tomorrow.

It can be remembered that Harambee Avenue hosts majority of the government offices including that of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto among others.

Other activists to stage the demonstrations include Boniface Mwangi, Okiya Omtatah, Betty Waitherero, Leone Igwee among others.

Khalwale is among the opposition leaders in Kenya known to vigorously rub shoulders with the Jubilee government over its activities.

The bodies of the slain Kenyans are lying in Chiromo mortuary where they were flown to on Saturday evening and families, relatives and friends were allowed to identify their loved ones on Sunday.

May the soul of Dominic Omae, my classmate and close friend, and those of other 27 Kenyans rest in peace.
