Protesters sleep on the road while chanting anti-government songs during the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests anniversary at Nairobi CBD on June 25 /DOUGLAS OKIDDYJacinta Anyango, the mother of a 12-year-old boy, Kennedy Onyango, who was shot by police in Rongai in 2024 during protests against the Finance Bill, is inconsolable and hopeless.
Her son, who succumbed to eight bullets, had promised to treat his two anaemic siblings and educate them through his talent, painting.
In an exclusive interview with the Star, Anyango said she had placed all her hopes on Onyango — to get an education, find a steady job and one day provide for her — noting that she has no home in the rural areas to turn to.
