Catholic bishops recently issued a statement on the state of the nation. The bishops decried the deteriorating state of human rights in the country. They recalled the brutality meted out on Gen- Z protesters in June.
The brutality bore all the hallmarks of a dictatorship’s response to dissent. The young people were protesting runaway thievery, and tax proposals that would have crippled small businesses and further impoverished Kenyans.
