Celebrated Nation FM Host Blasts Kenyans For Hypocrisy Following Turkana Killings

Kenya has continued to experience unnecessary and unwarranted killings across its borders. After the Garissa killngs by terrorists, North Eastern Kenya and especially parts ofTurkana and Samburu regions are the latest areas locked by internal strife where hundreds of residents have been butchered mercilessly over what is believed to be fight for natural resources.

The killings have left Kenyans raging with anger and rage, demanding immediate action from the government over the same.

Celebrated radio personality Angela Angwenyi has however taken issue with the authorities and a section of Kenyans who are more of hypocrites.

According to Angela, the government has failed to deal with the North-Eastern crisis the same way it does when there are killings in urban areas.

angwenyiangelaMy heart breaks. Can the leadership step up and save#Turkana#NorthernKenya…can Kenyans stand up and care enough to push for change and not only care when attacks hit the urban areas. My heart breaks today but I’m filled with hope because i know God stands with our great nation this too shall pass. Rest well my child, it will be well.#weneedtotalknotfight#lovenotwar#believe#prayer#GodBlessourcountry#proudlykenyan#Weshallovercome#afterthestorm#Rainbow

This has greatly angered the host who has demanded that the Turkana killings be addressed with the same magnitude the other killings in the country have been addressed.

Angela particularly lamented that even small children are not spared in the latest banditry attacks that have left many dead and others fleeing for their lives.

She shared this viral photo of a child abandoned by her parents after they fled the attacks and demanded that immediate action be taken to stop the killings.
