Saboti Member of Parliament (MP) Caleb Amisi has challenged the Kenyan leaders to take a keen interest in political upheavals in Nepal, stressing events should be ignored at one’s own peril.

 In a statement on his X page on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Amisi stated that the events should serve as a wake-up call for leaders to put their acts together or face the wrath of the people.

“All constitutional democracies today are standing on the edge of either proper governance and efficient, effective management of public resources on one side or facing the last day of revolution on the other side.”

“All leaders must shape up or prepare to swim naked in the dirty Nairobi River during the daytime when the sun is brightly shining,” he warned.

According to the lawmaker, politicians should bear in mind that revolutions are always a process that starts long before the actual culmination of a long-term series of revolutionary acts.

He further added the people vested with power should never underestimate the power of such people-led movements.

“No sane leader in Kenya should ever think Nepal is far and can never happen in Kenya. Revolution is not an event but a process. What happens on the D-day is just but a culmination of a long-term series of revolutionary acts,” he stated.

People power

His remarks come after activist and VOCAL Africa chief executive Hussein Khalid also sounded a similar warning to the Kenyan leaders.

Khalid urged politicians to respect the people they serve and to listen to citizens’ demands.

“People power is greater than the people in power! A message from Nepal to leaders in Kenya and across the world: Never take the people you lead for granted,” Khalid stated.

Following a wave of violent protests after the government briefly banned major social media platforms in the country, Nepalese youth clashed with the security forces, with the unrest leaving dozens dead and many more injured.

The violent scenes later morphed into attacks on government institutions and the homes of senior politicians.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Sharma Oli resigned as protests intensified and protesters broke into the parliamentary complex. Rioters set fire to the parliament building and other state institutions in Kathmandu, and videos from the capital showed thick black smoke rising over the city as people defied a government-imposed curfew.

The resignation followed a day in which at least 19 people were reported killed during clashes with security forces.
