The assassination of Kasipul MP Hon. Charles Were has shocked the nation. Irungu Nyakera has condemned the murder as a direct assault on Kenya’s democracy, warning that it must serve as a wake-up call for the country’s leaders.
“This was not just a killing—it was an attack on the soul of our nation,” Nyakera said in a powerful statement. He expressed dismay at the muted public response, attributing it to growing fatigue with political leadership that often neglects citizens’ voices until tragedy strikes.
Nyakera decried the culture of impunity and demanded swift justice. “The planners and perpetrators of this vile act must be found and prosecuted. This cannot be just another headline—it must be a turning point.”
Calling on Parliament to break free from executive control, he urged MPs to honor Were’s legacy through courageous, people-centered leadership. “Let this be the moment that Parliament rediscovers its spine,” he said.
“Rest well, Hon. Were,” Nyakera concluded. “May your death awaken us all to the urgent need for justice, integrity, and reform.”
As the country mourns, calls grow louder for accountability and leadership that truly serves the people.
