A group of youth, including 33 men and three women, who have been arrested yesterday on Monday after staging a protest at Capital Hill, are appearing in court today.
The young people were demonstrating against the government’s handling of the national program to send workers to Israel.
According to police reports, the youth had gathered at the gates of Capital Hill, voicing their concerns over what they perceived as mismanagement and dissatisfaction with the process.
The protest escalated when they attempted to force their way into the premises, prompting the police to disperse the crowd using tear gas.
The clash led to the arrest of several protesters, including their leader, Yotamu Ng’ambi, who was detained for his role in leading the demonstration. The incident has sparked widespread attention as concerns over the government’s worker export program continue to grow.
The arrested individuals now face charges related to public disorder, as the police continue their investigations. The youth, many of whom had hoped to work in Israel, expressed frustration over delays and the handling of the recruitment process, which they claim has left them disillusioned.
