As we celebrate international peace day let's embrace a peaceful community that is built with love, unity, kindness, justice and the courage to stand together. When we care for one another, listen to every voice, protect each other’s dignity, and stand together, we build a community where everyone belongs. Invest in Peace for everyone, everywhere, every day.

At around midnight goons invaded a residential plot around St. Alloys primary school in Mukuru kwa Njenga, violently evicting 15 tenants. They reportedly removed doors from their houses, stole tenants belongings, and attempted to rape one woman. What makes this even more disturbing is that the plot owner had repeatedly reported threats to the police, with 30 OB numbers recorded, yet no meaningful action appears to have been taken. How many warnings are enough? How many people must suffer before the police act? Are goons becoming more powerful than the police? The safety and dignity of Mukuru residents cannot be left at the mercy of criminals and impunity. The state must protect people, investigate these threats, recover stolen property and hold those responsible accountable.We must protect the rule of law before it becomes too weak to protect us.We demands immediate action and justice for the affected families. @IAU_KE @NPSOfficial_KE @DCI_Kenya #StopForcedEvictions

Today, Mukuru Community Justice Centre held a community dialogue reflecting on 16 years of constitutionalism in Kenya the gains, the struggles and the promises yet to be delivered. The 2010 Constitution promised dignity, equality, justice and socio economic rights. But in our communities, people are still struggling to access healthcare, decent housing, quality education, food, water and social protection. What does a Constitution mean to a mother who cannot afford healthcare? What does the right to housing mean to a family that were forceful evicted promised affordable housing and they have been sold out ? What does the right to education mean to a child studying without basic facilities? A Constitution cannot remain a beautiful document in offices while the people continue to suffer on the ground. From Mukuru, we are demanding more than constitutional promises. We demand implementation we demand accountability we demand justice. #KatibaAt16 #TekelezaKatiba
