Kevin Ochieng’ Onyango, a passionate young man from Alego‑Usonga, was shot dead by police in Siaya County during the peaceful, nationwide anti-government protests of June 2024. His funeral in Alego‑Usonga drew strong calls—especially from Siaya Governor James Orengo—for justice and accountability over what he termed the growing trend of state-sanctioned killings. Kevin’s death has become emblematic of the urgent demand to end the brutal repression of citizens exercising their democratic rights.
