The Executive Council and Members of
African Public Relations Association (APRA) are commiserating with all Kenyans in general over the recent crisis that happened in the Republic of Kenya.
A controversial Finance Bill has sparked nationwide protest across Kenya in the past few days.
The Kenya Medical Association says at least 23 people were killed across Kenya, and another 30 were being treated for bullet wounds. The number of injured is in the hundreds.
A statement signed by Omoniyi Ibietan, Ph.D., fnipr, Secretary-General of APRA, says the association “stand in solidarity with our colleagues in the Public Relations Society of Kenya (PRSK).
“We urge the Government of Kenya to put the people of Kenya first and in a show of conversational capacity as already indicated by the Presidency, undertake stakeholder consultations with empathy and an openness to reconciliation.
“We commiserate with the families of those who died and wish a speedy recovery to those injured during the protests.
“We fervently pray for the repose of the souls of the deceased.”
