“We present ourselves to fight for the rights of every Kenyan mistreated by the police who follow illegal orders, victims of the June 25th, 2024, and subsequent times, families of those killed during all these times, police officers and former police officers who have been neglected by the same system they fight for. Our mandate is to bring justice to our people, and we will fight tooth to nail to achieve it”, he stated.
