On this Episode:
It’s easy to think “they asked for it” when a young man, killed by police, is labeled “mwizi sugu.” But, Articles 26, 27, and 29 of the CoK 2010 give ALL Kenyans the right to Life, Equality, and freedom from discrimination and the freedom and security of each person. However, kwa ground vitu ni different. Young men from informal settlements, streotyped as criminals are killed by security agencies daily. In this episode, we sit with Kimani Nyoike, an activist from Kawangware to get insights into his lived experiences.
