The founder of the viral ‘Niko Kadi’ voter registration drive, Allan Ademba, has spoken out about what he describes as growing pressure from state agencies.
In an update shared on Saturday, Ademba said the situation has forced him to take extra steps to protect himself, including switching to a basic mobile phone to avoid monitoring.
He claimed that government systems are being used against him, though he did not provide full details of the alleged actions.
While addressing his supporters, Ademba pointed to certain dates he described as particularly challenging.
He noted that the 19th and 27th of March stood out as difficult periods, suggesting events took place that raised concern, but he chose not to go deeper into specifics.
The latest remarks come days after Ademba firmly denied claims that the ‘Niko Kadi’ movement is backed by politicians or hidden sponsors.
According to him, the initiative is powered by ordinary Kenyans and reflects public frustration over national issues rather than financial support from political actors.
He emphasised that the main goal remains encouraging citizens to register as voters ahead of future elections.
Ademba also revealed that several political figures have attempted to link themselves to the campaign.
He said some have even offered support, including logistical help, but maintained that such involvement is not welcome.
The activist warned that any attempts to take control of the movement would be resisted, insisting that it must remain independent and people-driven.
Despite the challenges, Ademba says the campaign will continue its push to mobilise Kenyans.
He argued that leaders had enough time in the past to promote voter registration but failed, leaving citizens to take the lead.
For now, organisers remain focused on their core mission of getting more Kenyans registered while keeping the initiative free from political influence.
