The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has condemned the government’s handling of the June 25 protests, accusing authorities of using excessive force against peaceful demonstrators and failing to act on credible reports of those allegedly behind orchestrated violence.

In a statement signed by Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala, DCP called out State House operative Farouk Kibet, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, Tiaty MP William Kamket, and individuals identified as Don, Antonella (a UDA secretariat official), and activist Gaucho, saying their names had been repeatedly mentioned in media and public forums as planners or financiers of the unrest yet none had been questioned by investigative agencies.
