00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Kenya National Human Rights Commission KNHRC has confirmed that thirty

attending to protesters who were attacked on Monday by Kenya’s

4
00:00:12,439 –> 00:00:16,519
security operatives and armed militias when thousands of Kenya residents

5
00:00:16,559 –> 00:00:19,039
came out to stage a mass protest to mark this

6
00:00:19,160 –> 00:00:23,239
year seven seventh anniversary, an event known as Saba Saba

7
00:00:23,359 –> 00:00:27,679
Day that commemorates July seventh, nineteen ninety, when Kenyans rose

8
00:00:27,760 –> 00:00:31,120
up to demand a return to multi party democracy after

9
00:00:31,239 –> 00:00:35,119
years of autocratic rule by then President daniel A Rapmoir.

10
00:00:35,640 –> 00:00:39,759
This the United Opposition leaders called on all Kenya citizens

11
00:00:39,799 –> 00:00:44,240
to declare President WILLIAMS. Ruto government as an illegitimate regime

12
00:00:44,280 –> 00:00:47,200
that is an enemy of the people, hostile to the people,

13
00:00:47,560 –> 00:00:52,200
killing the people by thus boycotting all government functions and activities,

14
00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:57,159
and delegitimize the government’s businesses and actions, insisting twenty twenty

15
00:00:57,200 –> 00:01:00,079
seven is too far for Kenyans to wait before ending

16
00:01:00,119 –> 00:01:03,719
the presidency of Ruto, and in a swift reaction, President

17
00:01:03,759 –> 00:01:08,480
William Ruto on Wednesday visited Daggaretti, northern side of Nairobi

18
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:12,120
to inspect the construction of five hundred and forty housing

19
00:01:12,280 –> 00:01:16,000
units project at Kilimanney Police Station, and during the visit,

20
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:19,439
the President addressed the nation and declared those or apparent

21
00:01:19,519 –> 00:01:24,560
protesters who attacked fellow Kenyans, police officers, security installations and

22
00:01:24,599 –> 00:01:28,799
businesses as terrorists, stressing such acts are a declaration of

23
00:01:28,879 –> 00:01:31,920
war and he will never allowed retrogressive elements who want

24
00:01:31,959 –> 00:01:36,359
to rise to power through shortcut succeed. Opposition leaders on

25
00:01:36,439 –> 00:01:40,200
Tuesday accused the government of deploying unmarked police vehicles to

26
00:01:40,280 –> 00:01:44,760
transport armed gangs to perceived opposition strongholds during the protests.

27
00:01:45,560 –> 00:01:48,840
They called for a national boycott of all businesses affiliated

28
00:01:48,879 –> 00:01:53,439
with President Ruto’s administration, accusing his government of deploying state

29
00:01:53,519 –> 00:01:58,439
sponsored violence and extra judicial killings on Kenyans. This regime

30
00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:02,560
is hostile, It cannot be reasoned with. It must be resisted.

31
00:02:02,840 –> 00:02:05,879
We will not rest, we will not retreat, We will

32
00:02:05,920 –> 00:02:10,319
not surrender, the opposition said in a joint statement. Jeffrey

33
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:14,360
Rigothy Gajagua, one of the opposition leaders and former Deputy

34
00:02:14,439 –> 00:02:17,680
President of Kenya, said on the seventh of July twenty

35
00:02:17,719 –> 00:02:22,000
twenty five, the thirty fifth anniversary of Saba Saba Kenyans

36
00:02:22,039 –> 00:02:26,159
took to the streets to protest. Unknown to the peaceful protesters,

37
00:02:26,520 –> 00:02:29,599
the time regime of William Ruto had a well organized

38
00:02:29,960 –> 00:02:34,159
state sponsored militia working in cohort with the police domain kill,

39
00:02:34,560 –> 00:02:39,039
destroy property and blame it on the Kakuyu community. President

40
00:02:39,120 –> 00:02:42,560
Ruto’s ic CE cases are still ongoing and were paused

41
00:02:42,599 –> 00:02:47,400
after witnesses disappeared. It is clear that history is repeating itself.

42
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:51,199
Ruto is hellbent on finishing his unfinished business with the

43
00:02:51,240 –> 00:02:55,240
Mount Kenya Region. To President Ruto, I say this with

44
00:02:55,319 –> 00:02:58,840
a lot of humility. Please stop being angry. The people

45
00:02:58,879 –> 00:03:02,000
of Kenya are far more angry than you are. If

46
00:03:02,039 –> 00:03:05,280
you truly want this to end, then restore the dignity

47
00:03:05,280 –> 00:03:08,960
of the pacelip. When the middle class can breathe, they

48
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:13,000
will create jobs for our young people. Start the abductions,

49
00:03:13,400 –> 00:03:16,599
stop the extra judicial killings, and if you want this

50
00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:20,800
to end, disband the killer squad. According to the Kenya

51
00:03:20,879 –> 00:03:25,919
National Human Rights Commission KNHC, the Commission is still actively

52
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:29,439
monitoring and following up on all reports and incidences related

53
00:03:29,479 –> 00:03:32,639
to the seventh of July twenty twenty five sab Saba

54
00:03:32,759 –> 00:03:37,039
demonstrations across the country. Below is a general update of

55
00:03:37,080 –> 00:03:41,560
the human rights violations documented by KNCCHR as of today,

56
00:03:41,599 –> 00:03:46,639
the eighth of July twenty twenty five at nineteen hundred hours, deaths,

thirty one injuries, one hundred and seven enforced disappearances, two arrests,

58
00:03:53,560 –> 00:03:58,400
five hundred and thirty two destruction of property value unknown.

59
00:03:58,759 –> 00:04:03,520
The KNCHR strongly condemns all human rights violations and urge

60
00:04:03,560 –> 00:04:08,360
accountability from all responsible parties, including police, civilians and all

61
00:04:08,400 –> 00:04:12,800
other stakeholders. We once again send our message of condolence

62
00:04:12,840 –> 00:04:15,000
to those who lost their loved ones and wish a

63
00:04:15,080 –> 00:04:20,720
quick recovery too those nursing injuries. The KNCCHR calls upon

64
00:04:20,800 –> 00:04:24,319
anyone with information and human rights concerns relating to the

65
00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:29,079

Human Rights Commission khr C, in a video post on Monday,

71
00:04:53,439 –> 00:04:57,199
had stated that law enforcement offices have killed at least

72
00:04:57,360 –> 00:05:02,319
nine protesters during Saba Saba demonstrationations held across twenty four counties.

73
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:07,079
The actual death toll is likely higher given the nationwide

74
00:05:07,120 –> 00:05:10,279
scale of the protests. It will take time to verify

75
00:05:10,319 –> 00:05:14,199
and compile the final numbers of arrests and injuries. Press

High Commissioner for Human Rights has made available via the

78
00:05:20,680 –> 00:05:24,680
UN website. On Tuesday, the spokesperson for the UN High

79
00:05:24,720 –> 00:05:29,279
Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravna Shandasani, said we are deeply

80
00:05:29,319 –> 00:05:32,160
troubled by the killings yesterday of at least ten people,

81
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:35,439
as well as looting and destruction of property in Kenya.

82
00:05:35,439 –> 00:05:39,399
As police and other security forces responded to violent protests

83
00:05:39,439 –> 00:05:42,639
in the capital, Nairobi and at least sixteen other counties,

84
00:05:43,439 –> 00:05:48,720
lethal ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons were used.

85
00:05:49,439 –> 00:05:52,480
Police have reported that at least eleven people were killed,

86
00:05:52,879 –> 00:05:56,079
fifty two police officers injured, and that five hundred and

87
00:05:56,160 –> 00:06:00,160
sixty seven arrests were made. The Kenya National Commission on

88
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:04,519
Human Rights reported at least ten fatalities, twenty nine injuries,

89
00:06:04,879 –> 00:06:09,199
thirty seven arrests and two abductions. We have also received

90
00:06:09,279 –> 00:06:12,519
reports of looting and damage to public and private property

91
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:17,879
by unidentified individuals in multiple locations. It is very concerning

92
00:06:17,959 –> 00:06:21,639
that these latest incidents come barely two weeks after fifteen

93
00:06:21,639 –> 00:06:25,240
protesters were reportedly killed and many more injured in Nairobi

94
00:06:25,279 –> 00:06:27,800
and other parts of Kenya. On the twenty fifth of

95
00:06:27,879 –> 00:06:31,959
June u n High Commissioner for Human Rights Volka Turk

96
00:06:32,040 –> 00:06:35,360
renews his call for calm and restraint and full respect

97
00:06:35,439 –> 00:06:39,839
for the freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly. It

98
00:06:39,920 –> 00:06:43,000
is essential that legitimate grievances at the root of these

99
00:06:43,040 –> 00:06:46,720
protests are addressed. We note that the police have announced

100
00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:51,319
an investigation into earlier incidents. The High Commissioner repeats his

101
00:06:51,439 –> 00:06:54,879
call for all reported killings and other alleged violations and

102
00:06:54,920 –> 00:06:59,079
abuses of international human rights law, including with respect to

103
00:06:59,199 –> 00:07:04,399
use of force, to be promptly, thoroughly, independently and transparently investigated.

104
00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:09,439
Those responsible must be held to account under international human

105
00:07:09,519 –> 00:07:14,600
rights law. Intentional lethal force by law enforcement offices, including

106
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:18,040
with firearms, should only be used when strictly necessary to

107
00:07:18,079 –> 00:07:22,000
protect life from an imminent threat. Our office stands ready

108
00:07:22,040 –> 00:07:25,600
to support the authorities in Kenya in addressing these challenges,

109
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:31,920
including in the investigations. Kenya Human Rights Commission KHRC had

110
00:07:31,959 –> 00:07:36,240
earlier on Monday published CCTV footage on its ex social

111
00:07:36,319 –> 00:07:40,160
media handle that shows how goons stormed the Kenya Human

112
00:07:40,240 –> 00:07:45,120
Rights Commission KHRC offices at two eight pm to disrupt

113
00:07:45,160 –> 00:07:48,240
a press conference by Kenyan mothers who were calling for

114
00:07:48,319 –> 00:07:52,560
an end to arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances and extra judicial

115
00:07:52,639 –> 00:07:57,199
killings ahead of Saba Saba protests. At exactly two eight

116
00:07:57,279 –> 00:08:02,279
pm East Africa Time EA SIS today, hired goons stormed

117
00:08:02,319 –> 00:08:06,319
our office sent by the state to silence descent. They

118
00:08:06,439 –> 00:08:10,120
violently disrupted a press conference by Kenyan mother’s calling for

119
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:14,279
an end to arbitrary arrests, in forced disappearances and extra

120
00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:19,720
judicial killings targeting protesters ahead of Saba Saba demonstrations. Saba

121
00:08:19,720 –> 00:08:22,839
Saba has been marked annually as a symbol of resistance

122
00:08:22,879 –> 00:08:27,079
and civic courage in ongoing struggles. This was a calculated

123
00:08:27,160 –> 00:08:30,600
escalation in the campaign of intimidation by the William Ruto

124
00:08:30,759 –> 00:08:35,480
regime against the KHRC following the extraordinary i Leegal rendition

125
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:40,440
of our staff Martin Mavengina and human rights defenders holding

126
00:08:40,480 –> 00:08:44,320
it accountable for gross human rights violations. We will not

127
00:08:44,360 –> 00:08:48,440
be silenced. The constitution protects our right to protest and

128
00:08:48,519 –> 00:08:52,039
speak out. See you on the streets. On Monday, state

129
00:08:52,120 –> 00:08:55,679
sponsored militia attack two journalists and stole the laptop and

130
00:08:55,799 –> 00:09:00,279
phones during a press conference by Kenyan mothers condemning arbitrary arrets, tests,

131
00:09:00,720 –> 00:09:06,639
enforced disappearances and extra judicial killings during protests. This CCTV

132
00:09:06,799 –> 00:09:11,080
footage clearly shows the individuals who took the items. We

133
00:09:11,240 –> 00:09:15,440
urge you to help identify the names. The Kenya Directorate

134
00:09:15,480 –> 00:09:20,200
of Criminal Investigations DCI must act on this evidence, arrest

135
00:09:20,240 –> 00:09:23,480
and arraign the perpetrators and ensure the immediate return of

136
00:09:23,519 –> 00:09:28,480
the stolen devices. Kenya President William Ruto, on his verified

137
00:09:28,600 –> 00:09:32,759
ex social media handle on Wednesday tweeted and said those

138
00:09:32,799 –> 00:09:38,120
who attack Kenyans police offices, security installations and businesses are terrorists.

139
00:09:38,960 –> 00:09:42,279
Such criminal acts are a declaration of war. We will

140
00:09:42,279 –> 00:09:45,720
not allow our country to be destroyed by retrogressive elements

141
00:09:45,759 –> 00:09:49,759
that are seeking shortcuts to rise to power. Enough is enough.

142
00:09:50,080 –> 00:09:54,759
In Daggaretti, North, Nairobi, assessed construction progress at the five

143
00:09:54,840 –> 00:09:58,519
hundred and forty Housing Units project at Kilimary Police station.

144
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:01,919
We have report it last year that the Kenya Police

145
00:10:01,960 –> 00:10:05,960
Authority has redeployed all police personnel in Makuru area within

146
00:10:06,039 –> 00:10:10,720
the country capital Nairobi, following the discovery of dozens of bodies,

147
00:10:10,799 –> 00:10:14,000
mostly female, wrapped in a rubbish bags and dumped into

148
00:10:14,039 –> 00:10:16,720
a sea of Mkuru’s slum, which is very close to

149
00:10:16,759 –> 00:10:20,799
one of the country’s police stations. Kenyan police are often

150
00:10:20,840 –> 00:10:24,279
accused by rights groups of using excessive force and carrying

151
00:10:24,320 –> 00:10:27,720
out unlawful killings or running hit squads, but few have

152
00:10:27,840 –> 00:10:30,559
faced justice. AFP report ends.

153
00:10:31,519 –> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Public to do this region as a hostile region. It’s

154
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:40,120
an enemy of the constitition and of the people. It

155
00:10:40,200 –> 00:10:44,240
has declared will on the citizens of Kenya, and we

156
00:10:44,720 –> 00:10:49,399
the people must resist to be dragged into a state

157
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:55,919
of anarchectetes, a neibless famusless and executives of this regime’s

158
00:10:56,039 –> 00:11:02,399
violence will be held personally liable, both locally and internationally.

159
00:11:03,240 –> 00:11:07,879
The day of locally is coming. No badge, no title,

160
00:11:08,080 –> 00:11:14,440
and no political alliance will show you from justice. This

161
00:11:14,679 –> 00:11:19,360
logim is now hostile. It cannot be reasoned with. It

162
00:11:19,440 –> 00:11:25,799
must be resisted will no trust, will not retreat. We

163
00:11:25,799 –> 00:11:30,000
will not surrender until every drop of innocent blood is

164
00:11:30,039 –> 00:11:33,759
accounted for, until the oppressive weight of this regime is

165
00:11:33,799 –> 00:11:35,480
lifted off the shoulders of our people.

166
00:11:36,360 –> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: Moved to Yayote and by an I under co bigger

167
00:11:40,639 –> 00:11:45,480
police moved to Yayote. An end a kuvera mere police station.

168
00:11:46,440 –> 00:11:49,919
That is the declaration of war in the Republic of Kenada.

169
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:53,120
It is not acceptable. So you come out in one

170
00:11:53,120 –> 00:11:59,720
