  • He admitted his comments were misguided and insensitive, acknowledging the genuine nature of the images and the public’s frustration
  • Kiarie praised the younger generation for their innovative advocacy for change and expressed deep regret for his initial remarks

Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie has issued a public apology, retracting his earlier claims that the photos from the Occupy Parliament protests on June 20 were doctored.

In a recent Parliamentary session, Kiarie admitted his comments were misguided and insensitive after initially asserting that the images were fake.

“I truly apologize for the comments I made regarding the protests and the authenticity of certain images,” Kiarie stated.

“In the heat of the moment, during the debate on the finance bill, my words were unnecessary, misguided, and insensitive.”

He expressed deep regret for his remarks, acknowledging the anger and frustration among Kenyans.

Kiarie, who had previously claimed expertise in identifying altered images, now concedes that the photos and videos were genuine.

“After reflection and understanding the anger and frustration that exists in our nation—anger that stems from decades of many unresolved, but very pertinent national issues,” he wrote in a handwritten note.

He also praised the younger generation’s courage and creativity in advocating for change through innovative channels and platforms, including social media and emerging technologies.

Two days ago, Kiarie faced fierce resistance at a burial where he attempted to defend his initial remarks.

Chants from the crowd prevented him from continuing his address, and a woman approached him and took the microphone, underscoring the public’s frustration with his previous stance.
