Wednesday, July 10, 2024 - Renowned activist Boniface Mwangi turned up to comfort the family of David Chege, the first protester who was shot dead by a sniper outside Parliament on June 25, 2024, during the anti-finance bill protests.
Taking to his X account, Mwangi said Chege’s family
requested him to carry his casket and fight for his justice.
“He was martyred for our
country, protesting for a better Kenya,’’ he tweeted.
The vocal activist further
said that he would not attend any other funeral.
The grief and pain he has
seen in the few funerals he has attended has left him broken.
Most of those who died in the protests were in their
prime fighting for a better country.
“Unfortunately, l have no
strength to attend another funeral.
“The grief and pain l have
seen in the mortuary, and the few funerals I've attended have broken me in so
many, many ways.
“I can’t even imagine what
the families are going through.
“Young lives stolen in
their prime. The knife in the heart was today’s announcement that some old men
have met and decided they want dialogue, without mentioning justice for the
victims, and compensation.
“We must stand with the
families, fight for them to get justice, and ensure their sacrifice wasn’t in
vain.
“Those men who posed for a
group photo at KICC today, are the enemies of Gen Zs and those we have lost,”
he added.
Below are photos of Chege’s funeral.
