An activist sits next to mock coffins outside the Kenyan parliament during a protest organised by the "Kenya Ni Kwetu" lobby group, against what they call a culture of impunity by the members of parliament, along the streets of Kenya's capital Nairobi, June 28, 2012. Listing political scandals from the last fifty years, ranging from assassinations to grand corruption and the new constitution, the words on the coffins are calling Kenyans to get rid of a ruling class critics say is too self-interested. The group aims to motivate citizens to ensure the same is not repeated, and work towards a peaceful ballot revolution. The name "Kenya ni Kwetu" means "Kenya is home" in Swahili.
