Never ever forget that @WilliamsRuto's response, to Kenyans demanding better governance, was to kill them and order them be shot in the legs. Unfit for office, fit for jail.
I'll keep saying.... A world that's hellbent on being unsafe for women and children is a world that will drink everyone's blood for breakfast. Safety should be a non-negotiable and yet it feels like something we have to beg, compromise and negotiate for.
Grace Wangare Thini is STILL missing.
A 16 year old girl vanished from St. Francis Mangu Girls High School and as every hour passes, the silence from those responsible becomes more suspicious, more painful and more dangerous.
Kenyans must refuse to sleep on this matter.
A child disappeared inside a boarding school.
Not in a market.
Not during riots.
Not while travelling alone.
Inside a controlled institution with gates, matrons, teachers, guards, dormitories and strict movement schedules.
That child did not simply evaporate into thin air.
The school knows something.
People inside that institution know what happened that night in that dormitory.
And instead of urgency, transparency and cooperation, what are we seeing?
Silence.
Deflection.
Arrogance.
Closed doors.
The principal is avoiding accountability while the Sub County Education Director appears more interested in shielding the school than helping a desperate family find their daughter.
This is no longer incompetence.
This is beginning to look like a deliberate effort to suppress the truth.
Meanwhile Grace’s parents are collapsing emotionally.
Her mother cries herself to sleep not knowing whether her daughter is cold, injured, terrified or even alive.
Her father is battling hypertension from stress and helplessness.
Imagine carrying your child for nine months, raising her, educating her, trusting a school with her future only for that child to disappear and the institution responds with silence and bureaucracy.
That pain can kill a parent.
Kenyans, this family cannot fight alone.
We must make noise.
We must demand answers.
We must force action.
Call the Ministry of Education.
Tag the DCI.
Tag child protection agencies.
Demand CCTV footage.
Demand accountability from the principal.
Demand immediate public communication from the school.
Because if a Form Four girl can disappear from one of the most guarded schools in Kenya and people remain silent, then no parent in this country should ever feel safe again.
Grace Wangare Thini is not a statistic.
She is a child.
And until she is found, this country must not rest.
