On the Radar: Opposition leaders to meet over Tuesday's shooting of protester

Opposition leaders are set to meet and later address the press regarding the shooting of a protester in Nairobi CBD by a police officer on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka said that they will be meeting to provide direction following the incident.

The protests called by activists were aimed at exerting pressure on top police chiefs to resign over the death of Albert Ojwang while in custody.

It, however, turned chaotic when a rival group engaged the activists.

Ojwang case

The Police Reforms working Group is scheduled to hold a press conference on actions the civil society organisations intend to take to ensure those responsible for the death of Albert Ojwang are held accountable.

It will be held at the Kenya Human Rights Commission offices.

Ong'ondo Were murder case

Two suspects linked to the murder case involving Kasipul MP Charles Ong’ondo Were are set to appear before the Milimani High Court.

The two, namely Allan Omondi Ogola, believed to have previously served as the MP’s bodyguard, and Isaac Kuria, alias Kush, are among the suspects charged in the case.

The duo is scheduled for a mention of their case as the court issues further directions ahead of plea-taking.

MP Salasya case

Mumias East MP Peter Salasya is scheduled to appear at the Milimani Law Court for pre-trial in relation to hate speech charges levelled against him.

The proceedings follow his dramatic arrest on May 16 along the Isiolo–Nanyuki highway, after which he was detained at Nairobi Central Police Station.

The MP claimed he was ambushed by armed individuals identifying themselves as DCI officers, disarmed, and briefly went missing before resurfacing in custody.

Subsequently, he was arraigned in court.

Salasya was formally charged with hate speech over remarks and online posts, charges which he denied.

The lawmaker was freed from police custody after Milimani Principal Magistrate Paul Mutai granted him a cash bail of Sh200,000.
