The Executive Council and Members of African Public Relations Association (APRA) have extended their condolences with all Kenyans in general over the recent crisis that happened in the country.
APRA is the professional body of PR practitioners in the pan-African region. Kenya recently recorded mass protests against a finance bill, in which lives were lost. The severity of the protests forced the President, William Ruto to withdraw assent to the bill.

“We commiserate with the families of those who died and wish a speedy recovery to those injured during the protests. We fervently pray for the repose of the souls of the deceased.”
APRA also expressed solidarity with its colleagues in the Public Relations Society of Kenya (PRSK).
