Kenyans took to social media to offer words of encouragement:

  1. Den-ease Kiboko Egh said: “It’s sad. Even if we all differ in political ideas, one should never treat another person’s family this way.”
  2. Catherine Kalungu commented: “Oh my God! Pastor Dorcas is crying? This is not good at all. We all know what the tears of a God-fearing woman mean. It’s gonna be well.”
