Kenyan media personality Willis Raburu has strongly criticized the government’s response to the recent tragedy at Endarasha School, where 21 children lost their lives. Raburu, a father of two, voiced his frustration over the perceived lack of action and accountability.
In his social media statement, Raburu highlighted his discontent: “It’s disgraceful that 21 children died, more fires erupted, and yet there are still people walking free, holding offices, strolling along ‘yatapita’ avenue like it’s business as usual.” He expressed his disappointment with the officials, who seem to continue their duties as if nothing had happened.
Raburu also criticized the authorities for ignoring court orders, stating, “It’s sickening that there are court orders that the upholders of justice and order are deliberately disobeying.” This reflects his concern over the erosion of legal processes and accountability.
Adding to his frustration, Raburu referred to what @DonaldBKipkorir has labeled “Special Corruption Vehicles,” which he believes contribute to the systemic corruption harming ordinary Kenyans. “It is appalling that such entities exist and benefit a select few while hardworking, tax-paying Kenyans suffer,” Raburu noted.
Hope for change
Despite the grim situation, Raburu found hope in the public’s resilience. He praised those who continue to fight for justice: “Yet it is inspiring to see people still speaking up, standing up, exercising their democratic rights to picket and speak, and shine a light of accountability when the light of democracy and virtue are dimmed.” His words are a call to action for maintaining pressure on the government and demanding justice.
Raburu’s comments underscore a growing frustration with the government’s handling of the Endarasha School tragedy, as well as a broader call for transparency and accountability. His advocacy for continued activism reflects the public’s demand for justice and proper action from their leaders.
