I join the people of Molo and all justice and peace loving Kenyans in mourning the senseless killing of Benson Njuguna, a student from Njenga Karume Secondary School,gunned down during a peaceful protest. This was not just a tragedy it was a national loss. An injustice, enabled by a system that fears accountability and targets innocent youth for demanding a better future.
The protests in Molo were not violent riots. They were a powerful cry for justice and a rejection of an oppressive system. Instead of listening, certain leaders chose to hire goons to sabotage the youth’s peaceful movement and taint its message. The Gen Zs are only asking for transparency and a listening leadership. Is that a sin? Definitely not!! The people of Molo are not blind. We know who betrayed us. We know who is for us and who is against us.
To Benson’s family: we grieve with you, we pray for comfort even as you come to terms with this loss. May his death not be in vain.
This generation is awake. We will not be silenced. Justice must be served. The truth cannot be buried. And those responsible will be held to account by the people, and by history.
