Nairobi, December 30, 2024 – The official leader of the opposition, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, has strongly criticized the Kenya Kwanza government, accusing it of grave human rights violations during the recent Gen Z-led protests. In a fiery address, Musyoka alleged that hundreds of law-abiding youths were killed, while others were abducted under instructions purportedly originating from State House.
“The Kenya Kwanza regime has blood on its hands,” Musyoka declared. “These youths were exercising their constitutional right to protest, yet they were met with bullets, arrests, and abductions. We demand the immediate release of all abducted youths and their safe return to their families. If any of them have been killed, the blame will squarely lie on this government.”
Musyoka condemned the silencing of dissent, calling out President William Ruto’s administration for what he described as a systematic suppression of alternative voices. “We reject Ruto’s schemes to instill fear and silence Kenyans. He must listen to the people instead of trying to break their spirit,” he asserted.
The opposition leader also criticized the state of representation in Parliament, highlighting that “thousands of Kenyans remain unrepresented,” signaling a democratic deficit under the current regime.
Looking ahead, Musyoka promised a break from the perceived failures of 2024, vowing a transformative political strategy in 2025. “The new year will not follow the same traditions of stagnation and oppression. In the coming months, we will unveil new party members and strategies to lead Kenyans in resisting the Kenya Kwanza regime,” he announced.
He ended his speech with a message of hope and resilience, urging Kenyans to reject fear and stand firm against oppression. “The people of Kenya deserve better. Together, we will chart a new path and make 2025 a year of change, accountability, and justice,” Musyoka concluded.
The opposition leader’s remarks come amidst heightened political tension and growing public discontent, signaling an intensified political battle in the months ahead.
Mandera South Member of Parliament Abdul Haro Kore has reiterated his commitment to improving the lives of persons with disabilities in his constituency. Speaking during an event in Elwak, Hon. Kore expressed gratitude to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) for their unwavering support in empowering individuals living with disabilities.
During the event, 47 persons with disabilities received tricycles, 11 were provided with blind sticks, and several others received crutches. These essential mobility aids will significantly enhance their independence and quality of life. Hon. Kore also announced the launch of a comprehensive program aimed at registering all persons with disabilities in Mandera South Constituency with the NCPWD. This registration will enable them to obtain disability cards, unlocking numerous benefits and opportunities, including access to decent education, job placements, and the provision of essential care products.
He further emphasized his plans to tap into several funds available for people with disabilities in Kenya to benefit his constituents. These funds include the National Development Fund, which provides financial support in various areas such as assistive devices and services, scholarships for individuals with disabilities facing financial barriers to education, and economic empowerment to help groups of people with disabilities establish small businesses. Additionally, cash transfers are available to support households with severe disabilities living in extreme poverty.
Hon. Kore underscored his dedication to ensuring that persons with disabilities in Mandera South have access to these resources. He assured the community that no stone would be left unturned in the pursuit of a better life for individuals living with disabilities. This initiative is a significant step toward inclusivity and empowerment, demonstrating the MP’s commitment to fostering a society where no one is left behind.

Jijenge Credit—Building Dreams, One Step at a Time.
Workers at Amazing Discent Transporters (ADT), a transport company operating at Mombasa International Airport have raised serious concerns over alleged labor violations, including the lack of formal employment contracts, salary withholding, and unlawful dismissals. Despite playing a crucial role in providing transport services to Kenya Airways, Swissport, Jambo Jet staff, and Tradewinds Aviation, ADT employees claim the company operates without adhering to Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) regulations or basic labor standards.
Employees report being denied formal employment agreements, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and abrupt dismissal. Many claim they are terminated after working for 30 days without receiving their salaries. Communication between management and workers is reportedly conducted exclusively through a WhatsApp group, which is abruptly terminated upon dismissal, cutting off any further dialogue.
In one particularly egregious case, workers who had completed a full month’s work were allegedly denied their salary of Ksh 20,000. Instead, Mr. Biko reportedly demanded reimbursements totaling Ksh 19,000, citing dubious expenses, including Ksh 10,000 for cash bail, Ksh 7,000 for vehicle breakdown costs—despite the van being under police custody—and Ksh 2,000 for a missing duty phone. Workers say these deductions were made without receipts or any form of documentation, leaving them both frustrated and unpaid.
The alleged practices at ADT appear to violate Kenya’s Employment Act of 2007, which mandates clear employment agreements, timely and fair salary payments, and protections against forced labor and workplace harassment. The law also specifies that casual employees who work for more than a month or perform tasks lasting over three months must be transitioned to term contracts and provided with proper notice upon termination.
The workers are now calling on the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), the Ministry of Labour, labor rights organizations, and activists to intervene. They are demanding accountability from ADT and immediate compensation for unpaid wages.
The unfolding situation at Mombasa International Airport underscores a larger issue: the urgent need for stronger enforcement of labor laws to protect vulnerable workers and ensure fair employment practices in Kenya’s critical transport sector.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has sounded the alarm over a worrying rise in abductions and enforced disappearances, which have left families devastated and the nation grappling with questions about justice and accountability. In a powerful statement issued on December 26, 2024, the LSK expressed deep concern over the targeted nature of these incidents, which have affected prominent social media users and activists, including Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and Gabriel Supeet, the latter reportedly detained at Ntulele Police Station under unclear circumstances.
The LSK underscored that these abductions constitute a direct attack on the constitutional freedoms and rights that every Kenyan is entitled to, threatening the very foundation of democracy. While acknowledging the duty of state organs to uphold law and order, the society reminded authorities that such actions must always align with constitutional safeguards and respect for human rights. Any deviation, they warned, risks undermining public trust in the justice system and eroding the rule of law.
Calling for urgent action, the LSK urged families and close associates of the victims to come forward with detailed accounts of the incidents. This, they noted, would aid in documenting the circumstances of each case, initiating legal proceedings, and advocating for accountability on both national and international platforms. Such efforts, the society emphasized, are critical to ensuring justice and deterring future violations.
Reassuring Kenyans of its commitment to upholding justice, the LSK pledged to support affected families and stand firm against the perpetrators of these heinous acts. They called on members of the public with credible information regarding the abductions to report to the LSK Secretariat or any regional office, promising swift action to hold those responsible to account.
This surge in abductions has sent shockwaves across the country, raising critical questions about the state’s role in safeguarding the rights of its citizens. It has also reignited debates on the delicate balance between maintaining national security and protecting individual freedoms. As the LSK takes the lead in pushing for justice, the public now looks to the government to respond decisively, restore confidence, and reaffirm its commitment to the principles enshrined in the Constitution.
The need to protect human rights and uphold the rule of law has never been more urgent. As the nation grapples with these disturbing developments, it is clear that ensuring justice for the victims and their families is not just a legal obligation but a moral imperative.
Thika, 25th December 2024 – In the true spirit of Christmas, Rockey Africa Limited, in collaboration with Jabali Joycare, brought joy and warmth to the elderly residents of Thika Municipality by hosting a memorable Elderly’s Day Out. The event, held at the scenic Thika Greens Golf Course along Old Murang’a Road, was a celebration of senior citizens and a meaningful conclusion to the year.
Over 100 elderly residents attended the event, which featured a variety of activities designed to uplift and honor them. From free health checkups and personalized wellness packages to storytelling, traditional music, and light exercise sessions, the day was filled with love and care. Participants also enjoyed interactive games and a communal lunch that fostered unity and festive cheer.
Robert Kamau, CEO of Rockey Africa Limited, reflected on the importance of the initiative, saying, “This Christmas season, we wanted to make the elderly feel appreciated and cherished. Spending the day with them was a privilege, spreading joy and creating moments they’ll remember for years.”
Jabali Joycare, a community organization specializing in counseling and home-based care, played a pivotal role in the event’s success. Its founder, Joyce Jabali, shared her thoughts, saying, “Our elders hold the stories and wisdom of our communities. This event allowed us to show appreciation for their legacy while giving them a day filled with happiness and care.”
The attendees expressed immense gratitude, with one participant, Mzee John, remarking, “It feels wonderful to be celebrated like this. I thank the Rockey Africa Foundation and Jabali Joycare for their kindness. It has truly been a joyful day.”
This event is part of the Rockey Africa Foundation’s broader commitment to addressing societal needs and creating positive impacts within communities. Through strategic partnerships, the foundation continues to spread compassion and support to those who need it most.
Nairobi, December 26, 2024 – The National Police Service (NPS) has categorically denied allegations that its officers are involved in the abduction of individuals in Kenya. In a press statement released by the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja Kirocho, the NPS clarified its role as mandated by the Constitution, emphasizing that the service is tasked with arresting criminal offenders, not abducting individuals.
The statement outlined that all arrests conducted by the police adhere to strict procedural standards as outlined in the Service Standing Orders. Arrests are officially documented in the Occurrence Book, and suspects are subsequently arraigned in court. If an arrest fails to meet procedural requirements, the suspects are released from police custody.
“For avoidance of doubt, the National Police Service is not involved in any abduction, and there is no police station in the country that is holding the reported abductees,” the Inspector General stated.
The NPS further reiterated Kenya’s status as a democratic nation that guarantees freedom of expression. However, the service urged citizens to exercise their freedom responsibly, cautioning against the spread of false, malicious, and unverified information that could damage the reputation of the institution.
“The matter in question is subject to investigation by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority and other independent bodies,” the statement read. The NPS also appealed to the public to report any relevant information regarding missing persons to the nearest police station to assist in ongoing investigations.
The Inspector General reaffirmed the service’s commitment to protecting and serving all citizens while urging the public to refrain from actions that could undermine the credibility of law enforcement.
This clarification comes amid rising public concern over cases of disappearances and alleged misconduct by security forces. The NPS reassured the public that it is actively working to uphold the rule of law and its constitutional mandate.
