Comedienne Mammito Eunice has aimed at Kenyan politicians for their lack of proactivity in addressing the ongoing march against femicide across the country.

Mammito expressed her disappointment, noting the contrast between politicians' enthusiastic pursuit of votes and their indifference to implementing meaningful change.

Speaking to a local news outlet, the comedienne said citizens need leaders who implement policies that protect them.

Mammito challenged politicians to prioritize the safety of citizens over mere political posturing.

"It's such a shame when they want votes from us, they come hadi wanatubaia leso zenye hatutaki. Sai tukisema kitu tunataka, hawataki kusaidia. Wakitaka votes, wanakuja wanatubaia adi mandazi. Sisi hatutaki mandazi, tunataka mabadiliko kwa community. We want leaders to implement change that protects us. Tukiuliwa apa mmekaa apo mnakunywa chai. Hatutaki leso, we want women to be protected," Mammito declared.

The comedienne's sentiments underscore the frustration felt by many following the increase in femicide cases in Kenya recently.

Nationwide peaceful protests took place as women and men united against the alarming rise in femicide in the country.

Demonstrators, carrying diverse placards, passionately urged security agencies to swiftly apprehend and prosecute perpetrators.
