Senator's Grief-Filled Testimony Rocks Kenyan Senate: Demand for Justice After Protest Killings

Kenyan Senator's Emotional Plea for Justice: Accountability Demanded After Jijazi Protest Killings Nairobi, Kenya – Senator Moses Kajwang delivered a powerful and emotional speech in the Kenyan Senate on June 10th, 2025, demanding accountability for the extrajudicial killings that occurred during last year's Jijazi protests. His testimony, captured in a now-viral video, vividly details the senator's personal experience burying numerous young victims of the violence. "Mr. Speaker, I have buried too many young people," Senator Kajwang stated, his voice choked with emotion. "Following the Jijazi protests just one year ago, I buried close to seven young people. Some were discovered in quarries; extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances." The senator's account underscores the ongoing concerns about police brutality and human rights violations in Kenya. His speech is particularly poignant as it approaches the first anniversary of the Jijazi protests. Senator Kajwang's call for the Inspector General of Police to appear before the Senate to answer for these actions highlights the growing demand for transparency and justice. The video serves as a powerful testament to the need for accountability and reform within the Kenyan law enforcement system.
