The story of June 25, 2024, is not up for debate. It is not a myth. It is not a matter of opinion, of interpretation, or partisan spin. It is history-raw, brutal, and indelibly etched into the soul of our nation. And as many have rightly said, this particular history is not written in ink. It is written in blood.

On that fateful day Kenya crossed a line. Those who marched in the streets, who raised their voices in protest, and those who sought refuge from teargas and gunfire-these people are living, breathing witnesses. They saw it with their own eyes. Others saw it unfold on TV and livestreams-unfiltered.
