A family in Kariobangi South is desperately searching for their two young children who went missing on Wednesday at around 5:00pm.
The boy is 4 years old, while the girl is only 2. They were last seen holding hands near Kwa Chief in Kariobangi South. Their loved ones are pleading with anyone around Kwa Chief, Civo, Buruburu, 56 or nearby areas who may have seen them to report to the nearest police station or contact the family immediately via 0711569605 / 0742829805.
Every share could help bring these little ones back home safely. Please keep an eye out, share widely, and keep the family in your prayers. 🙏

I am deeply disturbed by a video currently circulating online showing a Kenyan man, Opande James, visiting from the US, lifting the dress of an intoxicated young woman in a bar and recording her nudity—her v@gina and butt0cks—despite her feeble resistance. Another man eventually steps in to stop him.
What has shocked me just as much is the public reaction. So many people are blaming the woman: she was drunk, she wasn’t wearing panties, she brought this upon herself. This is exactly how we have normalised Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV). This is how we prove, again and again, that we do not understand consent.
Being intoxicated is not consent.
What someone is wearing—or not wearing—is not consent.
Recording and sharing someone’s nudity without consent is a crime.
We have weaponised patriarchy and misogyny so effectively that sexual violation is now treated as entertainment, and women’s trauma is reduced to a joke. If this same act had happened in the United States, that man would already be in custody. In Kenya, we are laughing, excusing, and moving on.
I am not privy to what that woman is going through—shame, fear, guilt, confusion—but none of those emotions negate the fact that a criminal act took place. Whether or not she pursues legal redress is her choice. What is our responsibility is to name the crime and condemn it.
When we stay silent, we give permission.
When we justify, we enable.
When we blame the victim, we protect perpetrators.
We are telling women that their right to privacy can be violated if they drink too much. We are telling men that they can walk away without consequence.
This must stop.
We need more voices calling this out for what it is: sexual violence and illegal recording under Kenyan law. No justification—none—can excuse what happened.
And to the woman involved: if anyone knows her, please help her access psychosocial and legal support. She deserves care, dignity, and justice.
We must hold men accountable for their actions. Anything less is complicity.
