Former public service cabinet secretary Justin Muturi/MUTURI/XKenya’s democracy is under strain, but hope remains, Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi has said, urging citizens to remain steadfast amid rising political and social challenges. "The current situation facing our nation is a painful reminder of Kenya’s long and difficult journey toward justice, freedom, and true democracy," Muturi said. Muturi described the current challenges not as isolated events, but as part of Kenya’s continuing democratic journey—one that has never been easy, but has always been defined by resilience. Kenya’s current situation, he noted, mirrors past chapters in the nation’s history when citizens stood up against injustice. And as history has shown us, even in our darkest moments, the spirit of the Kenyan people has never been extinguished," Muturi said.
