Andrew Kibe bows to pressure, says he will join 'Occupy Parliament' protests

In a video shared on his social media platforms, Kibe confessed that he didn't imagine that the movement would spread that fast, adding that he was initially 'afraid' of participating due to fear of systemic repercussions.

"The Gen Z have opened my eyes, honestly. I was lost and now I'm found. At the beginning of this thing I was very skeptical because (I'm) afraid. I'm afraid of being taken out, I'm afraid of anything..." he confessed.

Kibe went on to declare his unquestionable allegiance to the movement, cognizant of the fact that people may not welcome him, but that he was still invested.

"I didn't see this movement taking hold that fast, but I want to assure the Gen Z and everybody else taking part, that now I'm 100% behind the movement. Hata kama hamnitaki, niko ndani, " he declared.

Narrating an unsavoury experience at the hands of the police during the COVID-19 restrictions, Kibe said that he was initially scared of joining the protests due to his past encounter with police harassment.

"Robert Alai called me to a restaurant and told me to calm down. He told me to shut up. But I asked him, 'So, if I shut up, who will fight for us'?" he said.

The controversial vlogger then signed out by declaring his commitment to the upcoming Tuesday protests, heaping praises on Gen Z for their unwavering dedication to the street uprisings.

"I commend the Gen Z. You've taken the bull by the horns. I'm not part of the system, I'm with you 100%. Kama mbaya, mbaya," he said.

Kibe had earlier fallen afoul with Kenyans after appearing to dismiss the protests as a futile activity with no chance of achieving any tangible results.
