Another netizen identified as Zaq Top noted, “The list is growing, people are dying no answers are given. How long will we cover up impunity, how long will we hide the truth? The blood of MESHAK YEBEI, JACOB JUMA, CHRIS MSANDO and JOHN KIPYEGON Still Wailing in the Ground For Justice. WHO’S NEXT? #RutoRebelMovement“

The gun runner will never be president. That man always leaves a trail of death. May Msando, Jacob Juma and Yebei rest in peace. "he shall not know peace" said Msandos wife.
