His passion and dedication to the cause will not be forgotten, and his memory will inspire us to continue striving for a better future. Rest in peace, Willy," the MP said.

Wamalwa said the young man's dreams were shattered by the killer cop who took away his life.
"Condoling with the family of Willy Sitati in Kimilili, another Gen Z protestor who died on the streets of Nairobi. His engineering dream was cut short by KK killer cops. Like his legendary freedom fighter and great grandfather Elijah Masinde, he died hero and freedom fighter," Wamalwa said.
