- Reiss Clinton: “But we men are our own enemies, there are men who defend her saying that she should not be touched; if it had been a son, he would have been punished immediately.”
- Innocent Dimosh: “These are the ones who steal, and then they say they have been robbed.”
- Mom Brenda: “Last month my phone went missing in Nakuru.”
- Weru Maina: “This world is not balanced. The other day you posted a video of a guy trying to do something like this; the punishment he got was given immediately. Now this girl did it and was arrested. Why can one and the other not? What is happening here? I think this conversation should be held. If we show tolerance to a woman, it should also be given to a man, not as a battle of the sexes, but for being human.”
