We can never miss an opportunity to celebrate Wangari Maathai, today would have been the Nobel Laureates 80th birthday! We are forever indebted to her for not only breaking glass ceilings but ensuring the door remained open for those that came after her! #RestinPowerQueen

Ken Walibora explored social issues in every page he wrote. He beautifully used Swahili to instill in generation after generation a vision of a just society. Mwalimu, you will be missed. We hope that justice will prevail for you, your family and loved ones. #RipKenWalibora

We are back in court in pursuit of justice for Mohamed Dahir and Jamal Mohamed, young lives brutally taken in Eastleigh. Officer Ahmed Rashid faces charges. We won't rest until their names are heard. The Case is before Justice Diana Kavedza at Kibera Law Courts. #SayTheirNames
