Kenya: Activists' Fund Clears Funeral Expenses, Hospital Bills of Anti-Finance Bill Protest Victims

The aid was also extended to the families of Rex Kanyike and Evans Kiratu, who tragically lost their lives during the Thursday Occupy Parliament protests.

The activists led by Hanifa, Kimuzi, and Osama Otero had mobilized youths in a funds drive dubbed 'Care for The Injured' on several social spaces among them X and TikTok. "Hello guys. Remember Rex and Evan's? The first victims of this cruel regime. We have sent one million each to their families, that's their mum. The remaining will be sent to the family of Ian, who was shot three times on the back and won't be able to walk again," she posted on X.

On Wednesday, the President announced that six people lost their lives, 214 people had been injured, with 95 already treated and released from different hospitals contrary to reports that more than 20 people have been confirmed dead.
