Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa recounted for the first time how he escaped Parliament after protesters raided the building, leaving a trail of destruction and setting parts of it on fire. Speaking at a burial for one of the protesters in Bungoma on Saturday, MP Barasa said he narrowly escaped death.

“Wale vijana walifika, ile mbio nilikimbia nikama ile ya Omanyala. Kama mbio yangu haingeniokoa, leo tungekua tunazika Willy alafu pia mungekuja kunizika,” he said.

Loosely translates to: “When the protesters arrived, I ran like Omanyala for my safety. Were it not for my speed, today we would bury Willy then later you have come for my burial”.

Speaking at the burial of Willy Sitati, a 22-year-old student killed during the anti-government protests in Nairobi, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa recounted the events of that day. Sitati, a college student in Kibera, Nairobi, was among the protesters. Barasa shared how, after the group raided Parliament, he noticed a group of youths pointing at him, indicating he was their target.

“Niliona wakifika mbunge wakisema ndio ule mjumbe wa kofia. Nilikua nyuma lakini nilikimbia nikafika Bunge Towers wa kwanza (I saw them arriving in Parliament and they pointed at me. I was behind but I run so fast that i became first to arrive at Bunge Towers),” he said.
