Kaman was present when police entered the UPNG campus in 2001 and shot and killed two students and two outsiders, following protests about proposed land legislation. As word of the killings spread, people marched towards the campus from different parts of town defying police efforts to block them. Kaman described this as a "spontaneous people's movement". She was implicated by the media as having been involved in inciting the student demonstration, a fact that she denied, giving a detailed rebuttal to the Commission of Inquiry organized to review the event.
