Netizens react after Rachel Wandeto’s death
Her death has sparked widespread reactions online, with Kenyans questioning the circumstances and calling for justice and accountability.
Ngugi Isaac:
“It was easier for the minister and IG to visit her in hospital than to arrest those who attacked her. UDA drama never ends. Have you ever been attacked in Mt Kenya for supporting Ruto? Spare Kenyans this unnecessary drama and use state systems to deliver justice.”
Cecilia Njambi:
“Wacheni vipindi, arrest the killers if you mean well. End goonism in Kenya, hakuna wajinga Kenya.”
Chochumba:
“Who was last in hospital to see her? Who benefits from her death? Who is in the business of hiring goons to beef up security?”
