Mike Muchiri has also been on the forefront regarding Gen Z protests and providing civic education and this might be the reason why he was targeted.
” Mike Muchiri is now a criminal for actively engaging in civic education. They want us to remain dumb, and significantly be confined in our tribal cocoons. But this, they will not believe. Kasarani police station is now an active crime scene.” one wrote
