Main Story:
Ahead of tomorrow’s planned nationwide protests—marked as a “National Remembrance Day” for young Kenyans who died during last year’s anti-Finance Bill demonstrations—MP Babu Owino urged Gen Z to honour their sacrifice with clear, peaceful action
“Courage, not chaos,” he implored, warning that those attempting to hijack the movement with violence or hired sabotage must be rejected. Owino specifically challenged Governor Sakaja after revelations that goons were allegedly paid to disrupt earlier protests, stating the capital deserves integrity and safety .
In his message to Nairobi’s youth, Owino appealed for discipline: avoid property damage, guard market vendors, and ensure peaceful conduct. He advocated for turning out with flags and flowers as symbols of respect and remembrance, not aggression .
Wearing the mantle of youth representation, Owino reminded Gen Z of their power — to demand justice without descending into recklessness. He emphasised that this isn’t simply a protest, but a movement rooted in memory and justice.
As Gen Z prepares to march, Babu Owino’s message is clear: protest with respect, remember with grace, and demand justice without surrendering the values that define your generation.
