Am told The police is looking for me. Am here at parliament, come and get me.😎
157
I would like to thank whoever came through and added a voice to the struggle against the unfair taxation. The police fought so hard to arrest me but the power of the people overpowered them....
158
...there's no amount of bullets, teargas or arrests that will stop us. Some of our colleagues have been beaten up and others arrested. They must be freed for they have nothing against the police but rather the terrible tax.

I reminded them that it is okay to enjoy their youth for as long as they do not confuse enjoying their youth with destroying their future for everything they do now must reflect the kind of people that they'll become.
168
I am still delayed here at CPS simply because police is scared of the crowds outside the station and yet I have explained to them that I have to be in Parliament now. I will be updating you in case of anything.
Stay firm comrades.

Away from the stress of over taxation that has consumed us almost all week, I will be performing along with @YvonneChakaX2 tonight @serenahotels for a charity concert aimed at raising funds to build a school for former street kids. Let's all join the cause.
