Kibera women on Wednesday took to the streets to protest alleged police brutality in the area.
The said brutality left many injured and some dead.
The women, some of who were in the heart of the security operation process, wept and demanded justice.
“I was going about my daily business selling vegetables in the market. I did not participate in any demonstrations but I was shot,” said Mirriam Akinyi, a resident of Katwekera area.
The women were led by Laini Saba Ward MCA-elect Cecilia Ayot and sat on the roads dressed mostly in black as they demanded explanation why their youths were being killed.
“Our children are getting killed yet they did not participate in the demonstrations. Why should a young child who did not participate in the voting get brutally beaten? We are grieving and we want our cry to be heard,” said Jane Anyango, another leader quoted by the Standard.
