A Documentary By NTV On Garissa Attacks Leaves Kenyans Speechless… This Is Why Pierra Makena Shed Tears

After a series of titillating and jaw-dropping exposes by KTN, there is no way NTV was going to be left behind in the field of investigative journalism, a field that many viewers the world have always admired and used to rate journalists across all the media channels available.

NTV’s Dennis Okari went into depths yesterday evening to unravel the mystery behind the second worst terrorist attack on Kenyan soil after the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Nairobi which left 242 Kenyans dead.

While others are languishing in abject poverty and were forced to even sell their small parcels of land to educate their loved ones, others recount how their children ones made desperate phones asking for help as the terrorists approached closer and closer and finally shot them at close range.

The government has come under heavy scrutiny for a slow response to the attack, with many believing that a quick response would have saved quite a life.

The expose looked into the failed security apparatus and the ignorance portrayed by security forces even when it was reported that Al Shabaab was planning a deadly attack in one of the learning institutions in Garissa town.

Kenyans are clearly raging. But DJ Pierra Makena is crying, crying for her country and the lives of Kenyans lost and those wounded.

She lamented how we have failed as a nation. She said:
