She took to Instagram to express her support for the upcoming Tuesday, June 25, 2024 protests.
“Total Shutdown Occupy Parliament” protests. She announced that she and her team would be joining the demonstrations in solidarity with the cause, scheduled for Tuesday, June 25.

Marua recently explained her absence from social media and public events, revealing that she had been unwell. In a heartfelt message to her fans, she apologised and shared that she had been dealing with a severe cold.
“I have not been feeling well the last couple of days. I was coughing, which led to chest pains because of the severe cough. It came with headaches and hot flashes; I am feeling hot and cold. I have not left this bed since Tuesday,” she revealed.
Despite her illness, Marua remains a vocal supporter of the protests, encouraging Kenyans to persist in their demands until the Finance Bill is overturned.
“When we come together, we can reverse the finance bill. Every hashtag counts. Every person on the streets counts. I am hoping I will feel better tomorrow and see how things are going to be.
