Activist Julius Kamau: Why I disrupted IEBC meeting with presidential candidates

A man who was recently removed from an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) presidential candidates’ meeting has said he will continue attending the meetings and air his grievances on behalf of the Kenyan people. Julius Kamau said he is gifted with the art of protesting and he will use any available chance to raise concerns of people’s suffering to elected leaders and government officials.

Kamau has participated in almost all demonstrations in the city, ranging from the ones called by teachers at the Knut headquarters or those called by other activists marching to areas like Parliament Buildings or to the president’s office along Harambee Avenue.  Kamau, who was for the second time attending the IEBC meeting organised for presidential candidates, caused a stir when he stood up as the meeting was progressing and claimed that he had a letter to present.
