On Monday, MUHURI took part in a meeting at Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to firm up National Assembly's revocation of SGR-only haulage of cargo. Today, KPA advertised that #SGR use is optional - big win!
It has been a strenuous struggle, with the government often disregarding calls for a free market -- but we will keep fighting for the economic rights of Mombasa and its people.
We will continue to monitor the KPA’s implementation of the National Assembly order.

Here’s a footage of how brutal police in Nairobi violently disrupted several peaceful marches urging constitutionalism and respect for human rights. The march coincided with the 30th anniversary of Saba Saba movement, which was critical in repealing Section 2A of the Constitution, allowing multipartyism.

Brutal police in Nairobi have violently disrupted several peaceful marches urging constitutionalism and respect for human rights. The march coincided with the 30th anniversary of Saba Saba movement, which was critical in pushing the late President Daniel Moi, to reap Section 2A of the Constitution, and allowing multipartyism.
Rights defenders from social justice centres in Nairobi organized the march to pile pressure on the government to act on human rights abuses -- many committed by rogue police – and provide for fundamental freedoms. They were to petition President Uhuru Kenyatta to act.
However, shortly after most marches commenced at 7 am, police fired teargas, shot in the air, and arrested at least eight right defenders, including Wilfred Olal and Editar Ochieng, now at Kariobangi and Kilimani police stations respectively. Police are holding others at Kayole station.
But the organizers had served police with a notice, a required by law. It’s uncertain why police broke up the peaceful march. Violent crackdowns by police, as witnessed before multipartyism, is worryingly becoming fixed.

Mombasa witnessed many human rights violations by state agents during the #COVID19 pandemic, especially after the government-imposed dusk-to-dawn curfew and restriction in movement. But did the county protect its locals or just acted to fuel the violations?

Mombasa voters expect their MPs to jealousy – and as per the law – guard their economic interests and rebuff punitive policies. But have they?

The defiance of our youth in the Saba Saba the March of our Lives today reminds me of the words of Mufti Abdulrahman Wandati to the Moi-KANU dictatorship when he was SG of IPK in the 1990s: “You can arrest us and torture us; you can even kill us. We are ready for both.”

Do you know that defining the underlying problems behind inter- and intra- religious tensions can help in countering the destructive narratives and address problems of religious misunderstanding and literacy? The common misunderstandings include:
Mombasa county assembly must conduct public participation for locals to decide which name fits the waterfront park. For now, the majority online favour Mekatilili wa Menza. Bottom line: "Mama Ngina" must be purged.
The people have spoken: Here are the results of our poll on renaming Mombasa's waterfront park. The winner is Mekatilili Wa Menza Park, but our Facebook Live with historian Stambuli today has us thinking of even more options. @msa_county - open it up for public participation!
