The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has condemned the government's handling of the June 25 protests, accusing authorities of using excessive force against peaceful demonstrators and failing to act on credible reports of those allegedly behind orchestrated violence.
In a statement signed by Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala, DCP called out State House operative Farouk Kibet, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Tiaty MP William Kamket, and individuals identified as Don, Antonella (a UDA secretariat official), and activist Gaucho, saying their names had been repeatedly mentioned in media and public forums as planners or financiers of the unrest yet none had been questioned by investigative agencies. "Our party leader had, even before the protests, warned Gen Z demonstrators of sinister plans by infiltrators aiming to discredit the citizens' movement.
These warnings were ignored, and now they have come to pass," the statement added.
DCP also claimed that the government orchestrated a media blackout by restricting live television broadcasts during the protests, alleging the move was intended to shield perpetrators and obscure the full scale of violence from public view.
