Kenyans on twitter started the hashtag #MtuWetuNonesense to oppose the demonstrations normally held by the accused’s home people to show support despite their crimes. One user mentioned that this is the mentality that enables the fuelling of corruption.
Jeremiah Ngirita is rumored to be eyeing 2022 parliamentary seat in the area.
The poster circulated to advertise the event listed RedCross as one of its partners but the organization has come out to refute the event as fake and said that they are not in any partnership with the family.
The family is still being held in remand while their mother Lucy Ngirita was recently admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
