The young woman appeals to the public, saying, “Usitokee, don’t come, Agwambo please stay at home. We saw your efforts, okay? We saw everything that you did for Kenyans. Now let us… we miss you, but Agwambo please, please don’t even come outside. Tunatoka on your behalf, okay,” she says, blowing kisses to the camera.

“I’m not going,” she repeatedly told a police officer who urged her to cooperate.
“I’m not cooperating, I’m not going. Don’t touch me, don’t touch me. I’m not going,” she insisted, shaking off those trying to pull her away from the car she was leaning on.
She then demanded to know why they were arresting her, asking, “Give me a reason.” As they questioned her protest, she boldly replied, “I protest because you are killing us. You police, you are killing us in our community.” Eventually, the police officers walked away as a supportive crowd gathered around her.
