ODM leader Raila Odinga has hit out at the opposition and Gen-Zs for alleged hypocrisy over the killing of Kenyans by the police during the Wednesday protests to mark the first anniversary of the June 25, 2024, killings.

For a man whose own supporters have borne the brunt of police brutality in past protests, Raila condemned the police for meting out violence on protestors and called for a consensus between protest planners and police to avert killings.
