Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja Wednesday condemned the fatal police shooting of hawker Boniface Kariuki and called for full accountability, while also denouncing the violence and destruction that have rocked the city during recent protests.
“The tragic shooting of Boniface Kariuki by a police officer is deeply troubling and unacceptable in a democratic society.
I call on all the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough, independent investigation and ensure the responsible officer is held fully accountable,” Sakaja said
While affirming the constitutional right to peaceful protest, the Governor issued a stern warning to those exploiting demonstrations for criminal ends.
“I strongly condemn the destruction of property and the injuring of people following the recent demonstrations in Nairobi City,” he said.
Sakaja pointed to the significant losses incurred by business owners, amounting to hundreds of millions of shillings.
“Already, Nairobi has suffered losses estimated in the billions. Businesses have shut down, jobs have been disrupted, and livelihoods destroyed.”
