Our country has become so so insecure. No one is safe. If we were thorough in collection of intelligence we would stop some of the killings. How about flooding our cities, towns and streets with CCTV cameras?— joe mungai (@Mungaijn) April 23, 2019
Hey, very inhuman! Such a big loss of someone who helped many regardless of their gender, age, tribe or political inclination. May God rest her soul in eternal peace. The police should investigate and find the ruthless killers and bring them to book soonest possible.— 🇰🇪🇰🇪#AMB.MwalimuJoshua.GVN🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 (@MwalimuJoshuaO) April 23, 2019
