Peter Kamau, the man exposed by The Standard newspaper for allegedly being part of a group planning to disrupt peaceful protests, has issued another threatening message just a day before the national demonstrations planned for June 25, 2025. Kamau, who is also known by the nickname “The Don,” shared a new post early Tuesday warning Gen Z protesters to stay away from State House.
In his message, he claimed that State House is a protected area and said that anyone who dares approach it would face serious consequences. He went on to explain that the Department of Defence headquarters is located nearby and added that the President is under military protection.
This is Kamau’s second warning in less than 24 hours. On Monday, he spoke directly to parents, accusing Gen Z of misbehaving and blaming them for the unrest in Nairobi. He warned that those who caused chaos in the city would be punished, though he did not say by who or how.
His words have raised alarm, especially coming at a time when young people are already feeling unsafe and targeted by the State.
The original exposé by The Standard painted Kamau as part of a well-connected group consisting of government bloggers, members of the UDA secretariat, and officials from different state parastatals.

According to the report, the group was using WhatsApp to plan how to interfere with peaceful protests. Their plans allegedly included spreading propaganda, hiring goons to infiltrate and cause violence during demonstrations, and launching online attacks on media houses that criticize the government.
Kamau’s latest threats have only increased public anxiety. Many Kenyans are now convinced that these warnings are part of a larger campaign meant to scare Gen Z and other citizens from joining the demonstrations.
Instead of addressing the real concerns being raised, such as economic struggles and poor leadership, it seems that the focus has shifted to threats and intimidation. Several online users have already responded to Kamau’s message, accusing him of trying to act like a government spokesperson without any authority.
Others have pointed out that threatening peaceful protesters is against the Constitution and shows how far some individuals are willing to go to protect power.
