Leaders from Nairobi, led by Women Representative Esther Passaris, are calling for peace during the Saba Saba Day protests and have exposed a calculated plan to attack the homes of various leaders. According to Passaris, she has received reports indicating that some Kenyans living in the diaspora are fundraising to support what she describes as violence during the protests. Speaking at a joint press conference on Sunday, Passaris, who has faced backlash from Kenyans online over the past week, revealed that there is a clear strategy to send funds into the country amidst the ongoing protests. These demonstrations were sparked by the death of blogger and teacher Albert Ojwang while in police custody last month.

Adding, "I have a friend currently in the UK, and she was invited for a gathering.
And in that gathering, they were actually raising money, all right, to send to Kenya.
