Sheila Chebii came to Australia a month ago, full of dreams and hope for a better future through quality education. Just exactly a month later,she died under unexplained circumstances while working at Meriton Suites Pitt Street Sydney. Her family deserves answers, transparency, and justice.
Chebii was a Very young woman, a sister, and a hardworking member of the community. Tragically, her life ended under unexplained circumstances while working at Meriton Suites. There was No media coverage on this. It's 8days after the incident without public acknowledgement of her death.
According to reports, Sheila fell from the 19th floor to the 4th floor at her workplace. However, those who were able to view her body, after difficulties around this, say they observed inconsistencies with the information shared so far, raising serious unanswered questions for both the family and the wider community.
This is not about making unproven accusations.
This is about demanding transparency, accountability, and ensuring that:
- a Kenyan worker matters,
- an Immigrant matters,
- and a Woman’s life matters.
The family deserves answrs and closure.
We are also calling upon the Kenyan Mission Office in Canbera, whose role includes protecting and supporting Kenyan citizens abroad, to support a diplomatic government-to-government inquiry so that this burden is not left for the community alone to bear.
The community will peacefully gather in Canberra to call for:
- Transparency in investigations
- Accountability where necessary
- Respect and dignity for Sheila
- Support for the grieving family
- Proper review of all available evidence
We are asking for truth.

Climate justice should happen now .Kenya and the African continent have been hit hard by climate crisis. Ending #GBV and achieving gender equality will not be possible unless we raise our voices on climate change discourse.

"It is redundant to start building a fence after all the goats are stolen". Urgent action across multiple sectors must be undertaken to reduce vulnerability to climate change and reinforce adaptive capacity, especially of women and girls. #ClimateAction#Musharaka4Tanmiya
