Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44932, member: 636"] Kilifi Senator Stewart Madzayo wants police to stay away from Wednesday protests. Young people plan to march on June 25 to remember friends who died last year. The demonstrations honor victims from the big Finance Bill protests that rocked Kenya. Police killed and hurt many protesters during those street fights. Madzayo spoke at a funeral and told officers to keep their hands off the kids. Nairobi police boss George Seda promised to protect everyone during the memorial marches. His officers received official letters about the planned events around the capital. Gen Z activists team up with opposition parties to organize peaceful rallies. Candlelight vigils will light up the streets for fallen protesters. The coalition wants no violence or trouble from anyone. Madzayo reminded young demonstrators to keep things calm and legal. The constitution protects peaceful protests and police should help rather than hurt people. He warned the inspector general not to let officers attack protesters. The senator stressed that nobody should die during these memorial events. Constitutional rights give citizens permission to march without fear. Parliament Speaker Moses Wetang'ula threatened protesters about causing problems. He accused opposition politicians of using young people for their games. The speaker demanded peace and warned against borrowed hatred between groups. Last year demonstrators fought against new taxes on basic goods and services. The government pulled back the Finance Bill after massive street protests spread across the country. Human rights groups documented police violence that killed and injured many peaceful marchers.
