Our deep condolences for the families who have lost loved ones. Children must be protected at all times. Their safety comes first.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of lives and injuries, including those of children, during the recent protests in Kenya. As a community, we must prioritize the safety of our children and take all measures to ensure they are protected from harm. This is their fundamental right.
