Her statement on Saturday, July 13 is the first post by the First Lady on social media since June 23
First Lady, Rachel Ruto has demanded the end of violence against women in Kenya, breaking her social media silence for the first time in nearly a month.
Across her social media platforms, Mama Rachel condemned the shocking events that witnessed close to 15 bodies recovered from the dumpsite in the space of 24 hours, with reports emerging that most of the recovered bodies were female.
“The discovery of the mutilated bodies of young women dumped in Kware, Nairobi, is deeply disturbing and heartbreaking.
“Each of these women was someone’s child, sister or friend and no one should undergo such cruelty. Violence against women must end in our country,” she wrote in part.
Rachel, while offering her condolences and prayers to the families of the victims, added that “No parent should ever have to bury their child, especially under such circumstances.”
Her statement on Saturday, July 13 is the first post by the First Lady on social media since June 23, when she shared a live broadcast of the Commemoration of the International Widows’ Day at Musungu Grounds in Vihiga County.
On both X and Facebook, she has been resharing and reposting President Ruto’s posts on various matters, including his condolence message on the passing of Bishop Allan Kiuna and Faith Kipyegon breaking her own world record.
