Speaking to a crowd that chanted “Sifuna!”—a call for political freedom—Kenyatta emphasized the importance of open competition in politics. His remarks came during a memorial service for former Vice-President Michael Kijana Wamalwa, which also featured speeches from Wiper Patriotic Front Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

The event highlighted ongoing tensions between political figures, with Kenyatta using the occasion to stress the need for democratic participation. The rally underscored the role of public gatherings in shaping political discourse in Kenya.
