Kasmuel McOure says that the ‘Nane Nane’ Match will be their final Day in the street.
Youth Vow to Proceed with Protests
A section of Kenyan youth plans to continue with the scheduled Thursday protests. They call it their final attempt to liberate the country from the Kenya Kwanza regime. Outspoken political activist Kasmuel McOure leads this group. They made this declaration at a press address in Nairobi on Wednesday. The August 8th mega-protest, now called ‘Nane Nane,’ promises to be the largest demonstration in recent times.
March to State House
McOure announced that the protest will end in a march to State House. The youth, under the Gen Z banner, aim to oust President William Ruto. They accuse him of failing to address their grievances. McOure said, “Nane Nane is going to be our final day in the streets. We will go to the streets because the Kenya Kwanza regime has taken everything we had.”
Demands for a Better Future
The youth have clearly outlined their demands. They want a country that provides land, education, and healthcare for all. McOure emphasized, “We want to live in a country where children will not die from natal diseases. Tomorrow is a forward march in our annals of history.” He assured the youth that their spirit remains unbowed. “We shall march for our rights and tomorrow we shall liberate this country!”
Condemnation of State’s Security Forces
McOure also condemned the use of unnecessary force by the State’s security organs against protesters. He warned that the youth will not tolerate armed police officers in civilian clothes. “I want to issue a very stern directive to the State organ that is the police force, and not a police service – if we see unidentified men in civilian clothing, riding in government vehicles, we shall treat them as robbers, we shall treat them as thieves, we shall treat them as colonizers,” he said.
Call for Peaceful Protests
Despite the tension, McOure assured Kenyans that the youth had not gathered in vain. He stressed that they will not allow those “mad men on the streets.” He expressed concern over the presence of armed Caucasians in the streets. “We have gotten to a point in this country where we even have Caucasians wielding arms on the streets,” he said.
Police Warn of Security Threats
Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli issued a warning regarding the planned anti-government demonstrations. He highlighted that intelligence reports suggest potential infiltration by goons, which could threaten the country’s security. “The initial demonstrations held in June were peaceful but subsequent protests morphed into riots, with looters destroying and stealing property,” Masengeli said.
Intelligence Reports and Security Measures
Masengeli stated that intelligence reports indicate security threats with criminals planning to infiltrate the demonstrations. “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,” he said.
Public Safety and Legal Compliance
While urging the public to exercise vigilance during the protests, Masengeli cautioned protesters against trespassing on protected land like the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and State House. “All those planning to exercise their rights of participation in the protests should do so in compliance with the law,” he said. He reminded everyone that Kenya is all they have. “Every one of us therefore has a responsibility to keep our country safe.”
A Crucial Day Ahead
As the ‘Nane Nane’ march approaches, tensions run high in Kenya. The youth, led by Kasmuel McOure, remain determined to make their voices heard. They demand a better future and a government that listens to their needs. The authorities, on the other hand, prepare to ensure security and maintain order. This day will undoubtedly be a significant moment in Kenya’s history, as both sides brace for what lies ahead.
