In a post on X, Akombe shared the names of the 60 victims and called on Kenyans to elect politicians who listen to their concerns in the upcoming general elections.
The Kenya Human Rights Commission reported over 50 Kenyans were killed by police during protests, with over 50 others missing under unclear circumstances.
Meanwhile, Interior PS Raymond Omollo has criticized individuals seeking to stop compensation for victims of demonstrations and public protests, stating President William Ruto's administration is committed to compensating them.
Anyone opposing this is considered an enemy of the people. Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has also called for compensation for families affected by deaths and injuries during the 2024 anti-tax protests, urging reconciliation and peace.
The protests, which began in June 2024, were sparked by proposed tax increases in the Finance Bill 2024, leading to widespread demonstrations and clashes with security forces.
The government eventually withdrew the bill, but not before at least 39 people were killed and over 360 injured, according to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.
