MP Gathoni wa Muchomba recounts the killing in Parliament during

As peaceful and unarmed protestors stormed the Kenyan parliament building while protesting against the 2024 Finance Bill, seemingly shocked members of Parliament quickly scampered for safety in a secure location.
Githunguri MP Gathoni Wa Muchomba recounts the events that led to what has been termed as extra-judicial killings and the way forward for the country.

[@rosesimani]

I admire and lift my hand to this awesome MP. Despite the pressure and abuse from her Party she stuck with what her Constituents wanted. From a Boomer and a mother to millenniums and Genz's I thank you for your empathy for our young and brave patriots.🙏🏾Thank you - you have spoken for me. Thank you🙏🏾

Kenyans are so upset that this is a costly mistake that RUTO should have remained at the ICC, walk away free is a deadly mistake which has cost the nation a second massacre of kenyans..Kenyans are seeking JUSTICE for the DEAD. Ruto has lied and lied but ABDUCTION TO COVERUP EVIDENCE OF THE MASS KILLING BY HIS GOVERNMENT. RUTO IS VERY ARROGANT AND HE MUST RESIGN, LIKE FRANCE AND ANY WESTERN COUNTRY HE USED TO SPEAK AS EXAMPLES ANOUT TAXES...THEY ARE ALL LEAVING OFFICE...WE DO NOT ELECTION A PERSON WE ELECT A PARTY..THEREFORE THE PRESIDENT BE REPLACED AS HEAD OF GOVERNMENT...RUTO MUST GO!!!!

A true Iron Lady. Am proud she's my MP. Stand with the voices that put you on that seat Honourable. Tuko na wewe hadi mwisho...

[@Weche_Tek]

Wamuchomba first rejected the 2023 finance bill, perhaps the only MP from Mt Kenya to have done so. Then consistently talked against KK policies. Today she has been vindicated. To me she is a national asset that we should nature. She actually should move out of local to national politics and change Kenya.

True. With such a person in National Govt we will be track to getting back the country.

I hold you Honourable Lady in high esteem.. You deserve the name honourable for your stand. I am glad we have one MP who can stand boldly and openly explain what happened on that fatefully day. Those young people did not deserve to be killed. They deserve to be alive. The prudent thing the president needs to do is to show empathy for the common mwananchi. Remember where you came from and what you stood for. Do not harden your heart. Mweshimiwa, mungu akubariki

So Ms Muchomba is one of the very few that is a real servant to the people. Maybe in the future she should be put in positions of the Government, where she actually actively can fix this country.

I salute you Madam Gathoni you were so brave from the beginning, and my sincere condolences to the families of all the fallen HEROS . I pray for their souls to rest in peace . They have written a new chapter for fighting for theirs and our rights from impunity and oppression, i pray and hope for justice for them and their families, there are so many who got injured I wish them too quick recovery and to get justice too. Those who were abducted i pray they return safe and sound . I pray for peace in our beloved country . With this narration i can still hear the gun shot sound in parliament that day and in Githurai it was so in human and nothing should justify the action taken by security administration which took the oath to protect innocent people .

This is the pain certain communities that seek for justice in every election cycle feel, yet they are branded names. If our leaders would shun tribal politics, we can have a great country. The other year, the killings were done in Kondele and Sondu, this time in parliament buildings and Githurai.

[@justathought7235]

Truly painful on both accounts but this is quite different. This isn't a contest between a winning and losing politician, this is the people vs politicians.

[@marklawmarklaw1069]

[@marklawmarklaw1069]

[@wanjirusep]

Thanks Gathoni wa Muchomba. Your testimony is deeply disturbing. It has raised questions. 1. Have official statements been recorded from eye witnesses, such as yourself, while events are still fresh in your mind. (This is critical to a sound investigation process.) 2. The quorum in the National Assembly is very low, only 50 members are needed to pass a bill. This should urgently be reviewed. 3. Who were the hooded gunmen who used automatic weapons? Surely, this is a critical question and Kenyans deserve an answer! 4. Is there am arson investigation for the burnt buildings? What was the accelerant used? Why are there no images of demonstrators carrying fire-starting equipment? and 5. (With a lighter touch) who are the brave MPs who refused to abandon their lunches in the face of gunfire and marauding demonstrators? 😢
