Tuesday, June 25, 2024 - Auma Obama, the sister of Former US President Barack Obama, was among the protesters who flocked to the streets of Nairobi to protest against the finance bill.
Auma joined thousands of peaceful protesters
and marched in the streets of Nairobi while holding placards, only to be
teargassed by rogue cops.
Speaking to CNN, Auma called out the police
for using excessive force against peaceful young protesters who were exercising
their democratic rights.
“Look at what is happening. These are young
peaceful protesters exercising their democratic rights but they are being
teargassed,” she said.
“They have teargassed me. I cannot even see,”
she lamented.
Despite Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure
Kindiki promising Kenyans that police will be professional when handling
protesters, the protesters have faced police brutality as protests continue in
different parts of the country.
The countrywide protests are being led mostly
by the youth, popularly known as Gen Z.
