David Chege, the first casualty of police shooting in parliament is laid to rest

David Chege, the first casualty when Gen Z protesters reached Parliament on June 25, was laid to rest today in Kiambu County.

His death reverberated globally through an iconic image: after a fatal head wound, he lay covered by the Kenyan flag as four fellow protesters stood in solidarity.

At his burial, many young people vowed to uphold Chege’s legacy by continuing their mission to reform the country.

“We don’t seek dialogue. We demand justice, transparency, and accountability in how resources are managed in this country. Without these, our struggle will persist,” declared human rights activist Boniface Mwangi.

Others at the funeral emphasized that Chege’s death, along with others who have fallen to police bullets, fuels the call for revolution.

“We cannot halt now; their sacrifice must not be in vain. We must persevere and advocate for accountability and transparency in the administration of public resources,” stated William Njoroge on his social media handle.

Shortly after Chege’s burial, Boniface Mwangi reiterated on social media that the fight for justice for Chege and others continues unabated.
