MP Peter Salasya has urged religious leaders to conduct a spiritual cleansing of the Parliament gates following the death of a protester, Erick Kyalo Mutisya, during the Gen Z protests in June 2024. Salasya recounted witnessing Mutisya's death, alleging that the 25-year-old was shot by police and left outside the National Assembly gates wrapped in a Kenyan flag. He criticized Parliament for its failure to address the killings or offer compensation to the victims' families, emphasizing that justice has not been served. Salasya expressed his intention to visit Mutisya's family and shared his emotional trauma from the incident, which continues to deeply affect him.

Salasya highlighted that the anti-finance bill protests on June 25, 2024, resulted in nine fatalities at the Parliament, including Mutisya. He recounted the scene with Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, where Mutisya, dressed in white, lay wrapped in the Kenyan flag. Salasya expressed his distress over the incident, stating that he has not healed from the experience and feels the need to honor Mutisya's memory. He lamented the fact that Parliament has not shown sympathy or addressed compensation for the slain protester, underscoring the need for justice.

According to a CNN report, Erick Mutisya, who worked at a butcher shop, was caught in the chaos of the protests. Police allegedly used live rounds, resulting in Mutisya being shot in the back. His body, covered in blood, was left at Parliament’s gate. An autopsy confirmed that Mutisya died from excessive bleeding. Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has also called on the government to compensate all protest victims and urged Kenyans to uphold integrity while exercising their democratic rights. This followed his demand to withdraw the BBC documentary Blood Parliament, which linked security officers to the protest-related deaths.
