24 Jun Kongamano La Mapinduzi (KLM) Statement On The March To Occupy Statehouse Nairobi
Nairobi, 24th June 2025 – The time has come, the revolutionary tide is back, and freedom is but a day away. This time round, there is no reason to go back home before this small but important work is finished. Kufinish Kumalo.
Kenya’s martyrs did not die in vain. The painful tears of the mothers left behind, can and will only be wiped away with justice. Not the performative justice of press statements, but a justice that cuts so deep – that Kenya, its rogue political class, and its rotten state organs like the police will never be the same again.
Statehouse is a public building, it belongs to the people, not its temporary tenants. Its true Statehouse Nairobi and all state lodges are protected areas. They are protected from anyone that might wish the office of the president harm. However, the same principle that guides the protection of Kenya as a nation, from enemies within and enemies without, must also apply in protecting Statehouse from enemies without and from enemies within. Tomorrow, the enemy within statehouse must be routed out. Statehouse is a building, not a sovereign entity in our 2010 constitution, the Kenyan people are the only sovereigns.
GenZ do not need a lesson in mobilizing numbers, enough numbers to overthrow any dictator, even Ruto. In 2024, the street protests and our collective outrage brought the masses to the doors of parliament, and parliament fell. In June 2025, we must not re-occupy territories already won, we can’t send the same message to the president, through the same deaf Parliamentarians, and expect different result. The message ‘to go’ will be delivered directly to the despot. Revolutions do not tip over in favor of the masses through timid direct actions, or through mark timing on the same victory of yester years. The status quo must be dealt a blow, that no despot can recover, not even the butcher of Sugoi.
This is also not the time for wasted energies through vertical confrontations and violence, this is the time to work across differences for one common agenda, #RutoMustGo. There will be time enough to prosecute the traitors and collaborators alongside the head of the snake. The revolution will not spare anyone, the truth is not a respecter of persons, nor does the internet forget. For now, we must #Fagiawote, beginning with emptying statehouse of its enemy within, then the rest. For the energy wasted on fighting a fellow oppressed Kenyan, though differently oppressed, can be saved up for jumping over Statehouse fence, to confront the enemy at the top of our common vertical struggle
Fear not comrades, the constitution is clear, Kenyans are guaranteed (not optional) rights and fundamental freedoms. All sovereign power belongs to the people, the people shall or may exercise that sovereign power directly or indirectly. The constitution is also very clear, what is to be done when a president goes mad and starts abducting, torturing and killing children. Kenya’s 2010 constitution is very precise, on what must be done in the case of mental incapacitation of the president, and fair elections under the hands of a mad man is no longer guaranteed, as the constitution promises.
This is the time for organized collectives (where two or three are gathered) to offer their services to the revolution, to go beyond their primary political interest, for a unified assault. What can your organized collective do to make tomorrow a success, is it your presence in the streets, medical emergency camps, legal aid, software deployment, your choice. The harvest is ready but the workers are few.
Signed,
Kongamano La Mapinduzi
