During a Nairobi press conference, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi expressed shock that Ayomo, killed in chaos at a Kitengela 'Linda Mwananchi' rally on February 15, was Luo, then urged the community to stop protesting since 'there is no cause' anymore. Relatives clarified Ayomo was heading to fetch spare parts when police gunfire struck him below the left eye; his wife identified his body at the morgue, and his brother demanded justice from those meant to protect them. Critics accused Mbadi of tribalism and hypocrisy, while the Independent Policing Oversight Authority probes the incident amid calls for police accountability and party unity.

Key Takeaway

Vincent Ayomo, a 28-year-old mechanic and father, was shot while crossing the road for work parts—not even at the rally. His family's plea for justice hangs heavy amid the backlash.

The grassroots 'Protect the Citizen' campaign, led by ODM figures including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo, and Embakasi East MP Paul Babu Owino, rallies against economic hardships and closer ties to President Ruto's party. It kicked off in Busia County on February 8, drawing thousands, but a post spotlighting the all-male poster for the upcoming Kajiado event at Tononoka Stadium sparked replies dismissing the lack of women, with some saying men clear the path first. While women hold about 23% of Kenyan parliamentary seats, few elected female leaders have joined, highlighting tensions in opposition efforts ahead of 2027 elections.

Key Takeaway

A promotional poster for the Linda Mwananchi Tour showed only male leaders like Paul Babu Owino and Edwin Sifuna, prompting a pointed online question: where are the elected women?

On February 18, CHI$OM posted on X about stepping back from pro-Palestine advocacy after commenters dismissed reports of violence against Nigerian Christians as fake.

The discussion highlights frustrations over selective attention, as Nigerians note more deaths locally than in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while some defend pro-Palestine voices and urge focus on multiple causes.

Key Takeaway

CHI$OM shared how her support for Palestine faded when online voices called attacks on Nigerian Christians 'Zionist propaganda.' Her post struck a chord, drawing thousands who feel their pain gets overlooked.
