A 16 year old girl vanished from one of the most guarded girls schools in Kenya and the people running that institution are behaving like we are disturbing their peace by asking questions.
Read that again slowly.
A WHOLE CHILD disappeared.
Not outside a nightclub.
Not in a forest.
Not during chaos.
Inside a boarding school.
Inside St. Francis Mangu Girls in Kiambu County.
And what is shocking is not just the disappearance of Grace Wangare Thini.
It is the coldness.
The silence.
The arrogance.
The complete absence of urgency from people entrusted with children.
Grace disappeared on 10th April 2025.
The school only realised she was missing the following day after a teacher attending the third lesson noticed she was absent from class.
Meaning for hours nobody knew where she was.
Nobody checked.
Nobody panicked.
Nobody cared enough to immediately raise alarm.
This is a Form Four student living under school control, not an adult renting her own apartment in Nairobi.
So how does a child disappear from a highly secured boarding school without answers?
Today together with Maina Magret and Amos Koech we went to that school seeking one thing only:
Truth.
But what we found was walls.
The principal refused to face us.
The secretary redirected us like we were beggars asking for favours instead of citizens demanding accountability for a missing child.
Then came the deputy principal Mrs Gitonga in charge of curriculum.
The attitude alone told a story.
Arrogant.
Dismissive.
Defensive.
The kind of behaviour public officials display when they know something is wrong but believe ordinary Kenyans are too powerless to push further.
Simple questions became a problem.
Who last saw Grace?
Which teacher was on duty?
Which gate did she pass?
Was CCTV reviewed?
Were students questioned immediately?
Did she leave alone?
Was she assisted?
Why the delay in informing the parents?
No straight answers.
Only referrals.
Excuses.
Bureaucratic games.
They referred us to the Sub County Education Director over 40 kilometres away as if this is a paperwork issue and not a missing child crisis.
Meanwhile Grace’s parents are dying slowly.
Her father Mr Thini is battling hypertension from stress and emotional torture.
Her mother Eunice Wairimu is surviving on tears, prayers and hope.
Every day they travel from Naivasha near Wanyua Junction searching for answers no parent should ever beg for.
Imagine waking up every morning not knowing whether your daughter is alive, injured, kidnapped or dead.
Then imagine the institution responsible for her safety treating you like an inconvenience.
That is the cruelty this family is facing.
And Kenyans must stop normalising this madness.
A school cannot lose a child then hide behind offices and titles.
This country has become dangerously comfortable with institutional silence.
When poor families cry, powerful offices close ranks.
When children disappear, systems protect reputations first before human life.
That is why this case must not die.
The DCI, Ministry of Education, Child Protection agencies and every security organ in Kenya must move with speed and seriousness.
Because Grace Wangare Thini is not just another name.
She is somebody’s daughter.
And tonight somewhere in Kenya, two parents are staring at a silent phone praying it rings with news that their child is still alive.
@AIRTEL_KE hii pesa ilitumwa into your account but mnasema only safaricom should follow up instead of helping, alafu hamreply when tagged, I am not going to leave you behind, hii till imereportiwa since 2021 why are you still letting it operate? Isn't this enabling fraudsters?
Nick didn’t just die — he was failed by a broken system.
He stood on the frontlines, speaking, fighting, risking it all, documenting every step… and the same people who called him friend sat comfortably in the hall : clapping, smiling, receiving awards.
Sometimes honoring someone isn’t posting tributes after they’re gone. It’s having the courage to stand up, to walk out, to refuse to celebrate in the presence of what failed them.
That’s what art is supposed to be: truth, resistance and consequence.
President Uhuru Kenyatta injecting on 1st May 2022 at Nyayo Stadium during the Labour Day Celebrations. He blamed Deputy President William Ruto for blaming him because of the increase in fuel prices. Today William Ruto is the President. Karma is real.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Bots ignored.
Luis, I don’t know you - let’s see if your fellow man wants your life to change.
A Kenyan has released a song on Dr. Fred Matiang'i's earthmoving speech in Othaya that hit directly on Ruto's FAILURES.
Kenyans are alert and ready to continue exposing this regime's INCOMPETENCIES without fear or hesitation.
This will definitely anger Ruto and his apologists!
