Parliament's Silence on Gen Z Protest Sparks Outrage in Kenya
Kenyan Parliament Criticized for Lack of Report on June 25th Gen Z Protest A recent video interview with Wilson Sossion, former Secretary General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), has brought renewed attention to the June 25th Gen Z protest in Kenya. Sossion expressed sharp criticism of the Parliament's failure to issue its own report on the events. He stated, "Parliament should have given us a report of their own regarding the June 25th Gen Z protest, because the events were a serious breach of Parliament and the Supreme Court, the first time this has happened since independence." This unprecedented breach raises serious questions about security and the rule of law. Sossion's concerns are amplified by his questioning of the protesters' motives, suggesting they might have been "hired goons." The absence of an official parliamentary report leaves many unanswered questions about the incident and its implications for Kenya's political landscape. The UN Human Rights Council has already addressed Kenya's deteriorating human rights record, indicating the gravity of the situation. The ongoing debate highlights the need for transparency and accountability in addressing such critical events.
