Siaya Governor James Orengo was captured riding pillion on a motorbike through Nairobi’s Central Business District today during the June 25 protests.
The opposition leader was seen waving a large Kenyan flag, navigating the Nairobi streets alongside dozens of other bikers as protesters converged on Parliament.
The viral clip saw Orengo in the thick of the action amid heavy security presence marking the second anniversary of the 2024 deadly anti-Finance Bill protests.
Among other opposition leaders included Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua, who joined hundreds of Kenyans in Nairobi to commemorate the day.
They said the day should be remembered as a national moment of reflection and honour for those who lost their lives.
According to reports, the leaders spoke near Parliament buildings after laying wreaths in memory of victims of the 2024 demonstrations, which culminated in protesters breaching Parliament as lawmakers debated the Finance Bill.
This came amid heavy security deployment across the capital, with police erecting roadblocks and barricades on major roads leading to the Central Business District, Parliament and other government installations.
Addressing protesters and supporters gathered for the commemoration, Kalonzo praised participants for maintaining peace despite the restrictions imposed by authorities.
