Kenyans comfort the family of a Ruaka man
This case has created different feelings, some feel that he may have been drunk too much or drugged after leaving the bar, while others feel that he may have had health problems.
Many felt sad for the family of the deceased, especially considering that they said goodbye to him in the morning without knowing that they would not see him alive again.
Eddy Snr:
“There is a guy back in 2020 when I was a KNH internship, he finished the night shift and got into his car to sleep in the parking lot, and that’s why he didn’t wake up. They found him the next day at night like this guy. I think he was suffocated – lack of air in the car or he was stuffed with rice.”
Achieng Vera Nyar Osiri-Kanyijowi:
“It seems like he felt he was in danger and thought he would be safe at a gas station, a mindset that many of us have. Really sad.”
