Kenyans, you have a very uncaring president. All your cried tears, the blood you shed, the lives you lost.. amounted to a silly Cabinet-reshuffle. Sorry your pain falls on deaf ears. The night will get darker, store up more batteries for the long journey ahead until dawn comes.

@uonbi The conveners of this webinar need to shut it down and reconvene it with a panel that includes African women scholars. This is beneath UoN as an institution highly ranked in Africa. In 2020, this is just plain arrogant, irresponsible and a careless omission.

If it means nothing to a regime that a few among them steal billions and contribute to the terrible injustice of poverty suffered by many, if President Ruto cannot even say that he understands this fact, then the whole tree must be uprooted from its roots and a new one planted.
