The mother to Austin Makokha, one of the victims killed during anti-Finance Bill protests has demanded for justice for her son.
She was among the attendees when Nakuru Gen Z converged at Nyayo Gardens on Sunday to honour Kenyans who died during the anti-tax protests.
The group prayed and observed a moment of silence for those who were killed during the Occupy Parliament protests.
Makokha's mother expressed sadness following the demise of his son during the chaotic demonstrations.
She said that until his death, Makokha was the breadwinner and acted like a parent in the home.
She said she is saddened and full of anger as no action has been taken after the death of her son.
"I want to thank all of you for coming to grieve with us, I'm happy to see you and we are together in this. I want justice for my son Austin, I'm so sad and angry. Austin was like a parent in our home, he used to take care of his brother," she said.
"I ask Ipoa to look at our case and how they can help us to take care of Austins brother."
On July 23, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga, said his office received files from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) regarding four victims of the alleged police shootings.
However, Austin Makokha's file was not among those received by the DPP.
The DPP said that investigations conducted so far have not found any police officer culpable of injury or death of protesters.
He called on Kenyans with any information regarding the conduct of police during protests to record statements.
The DPP said that statements from witnesses and Kenyans will help him hold suspects to account.
The mass action started on June 18 fuelled by Parliament's determination to pass the Finance Bill despite widespread opposition.
The government said it sought to raise Sh346 billion extra revenue to run its programmes in the 2024-25 financial year.
President William Ruto eventually bowed to pressure and withdrew the Bill after protesters died on the frontline during Occupy Parliament protests on June 25.
The Gen Z protesters still vowed to sustain their protests demanding for accountability and better governance.
