Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma said former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's supporters will skip upcoming anti-government protests. The lawmaker warned opposition leaders against pushing young Kenyans into street demonstrations. He promised pro-government forces would stand firm and defend the current administration. Kaluma stated the Luo community would not join protests that lack clear goals. He argued former opposition supporters have changed their focus toward joining government and national development work.
The vocal legislator expressed anger about his community's past political struggles throughout Kenya's history. He said Luo people had suffered and died during street protests since independence. Kaluma accused opposition leaders of staying safe at home and sending other people's children to dangerous demonstrations. He claimed these leaders collect donor money during protests without taking personal risks. The MP demanded opposition figures lead protests themselves with their families before asking others to participate.
Kaluma insisted his community had already sacrificed enough during decades of fighting for justice and democracy. He believes the time has come to focus on governing and building the nation instead of continued protests. His comments come as activists plan fresh demonstrations for June 25 to mark the Gen Z protest anniversary. The planned protests will pressure police officers accused of killing citizens and demand justice for blogger Albert Ojwang.
