Celebrated Kenyan comedienne Mammito Eunice has stirred conversation after stepping out to join thousands of protestors in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) during the June 25, 2025, demonstrations. The protests mark one year since the fatal police shootings that claimed the lives of Gen Z protesters during the 2024 anti-Finance Bill rallies.
Mammito, who recently welcomed her first child on March 26, proved her dedication to the cause by showing up in full protest gear. Clad in an all-black outfit with the Kenyan flag tied around her neck, she held a bottle of water in one hand and a yellow whistle in the other, ready to stand in solidarity with fellow Kenyans.
The comedian, known for her sharp wit and fearless commentary, took to Instagram to share photos from the protest. In her caption, she humorously addressed the challenges of motherhood and activism, writing, “The milk has already been pumped. Now let us pump changes.” The statement quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and fellow celebrities.
Many social media users praised her bravery, especially considering she had just given birth three months ago. Others jokingly wondered who she left her newborn with while she joined the protests. Comments ranged from admiration for her patriotism to lighthearted jokes about her baby’s next feeding session.
The June 25 protests saw a mix of anger, mourning, and resilience as Kenyans gathered to remember the 60 young lives lost during the 2024 demonstrations. Protesters also called for justice for slain teacher Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody earlier this year.
The atmosphere in various cities, including Nairobi, Machakos, and Eldoret, remained tense throughout the day. Reports emerged of clashes between protestors and police, with incidents of injuries and arrests being recorded. A female police officer was also rushed to hospital after being attacked by some protestors near the Nairobi Central Police Station.
Despite a directive from the Communications Authority instructing media houses to stop live coverage of the protests, social media platforms remained flooded with real-time updates from influencers, celebrities, and ordinary Kenyans.
Mammito now joins a growing list of celebrities who have publicly shown support for the youth-led movement. Comedian Njugush, rapper Khaligraph Jones, actress Jackie Matubia, and activist Eric Omondi have all confirmed their presence at the protests.
As the country continues to grapple with calls for justice, accountability, and reform, Mammito Eunice’s bold step to join the streets just months after childbirth has inspired many, highlighting the lengths to which Kenyans are willing to go in their fight for change.
