According to accounts shared by Atwoli, he received an unexpected photo on his phone showing his daughter inside Parliament Buildings during the height of the protests.
The image reportedly showed Maria among demonstrators who had gained access to the premises during one of the most intense moments of the nationwide unrest.
Atwoli said his first reaction was not pride, but alarm. As a senior trade union leader closely associated with the political establishment, the situation placed him in a deeply personal and unexpected position—watching his own daughter participate in a protest directed at the very institutions he is often linked with.
