Lawyer Willis Otieno has warned that those responsible for the deaths of innocent Kenyans will eventually face justice.
In a late-night post on X on Friday, February 7, 2026, Otieno remembered the likes of Albert Ojwang, Rex Masai, and Denzel Omondi, who lost their lives due to excesses by security agencies.
He urged the public and authorities to acknowledge past wrongs and ensure accountability.
“Denzel Omondi’s blood is speaking. Albert Ojwang’s blood is crying out from the soil. Rex Masai’s blood has not dried; it still demands an answer. Baby Pendo’s innocent blood has never gone silent. Name them. Speak them. Remember them,” he wrote.
Otieno described these lives not merely as names, but as echoes of injustice resonating across a nation that often pretends not to hear.
“You may silence a body, but you cannot bury truth. You may manipulate reports, forge postmortems, intimidate witnesses, but blood speaks. When it speaks, it is louder than press conferences, louder than political spin, louder than the cowardly silence of those entrusted to act,” he added.
Call for accountability
The lawyer stressed that the cries of victims extend beyond the deceased, speaking also through grieving families and communities still living in fear.
“Blood speaks in the wails of mothers who never got justice. It speaks in the fear of citizens who still face the same brutality. It speaks,” he emphasised.
Otieno further urged the public and authorities to acknowledge past wrongs and ensure accountability.
Otieno concluded by urging citizens to remember the victims and speak out against any form of injustice, highlighting the need for a society where every life is valued and protected.
