Ex-Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has made a special request to the family the late Caroline Kangogo, noting that he is ready to educate and take care of Kangogo’s children if the family won’t be in a position to.
In a statement posted on his Twitter handle, Sonko empathized with the family following Kangogo’s decision to commit suicide on Friday morning.
Sonko noted that though Kangogo was accused of engaging in serious crimes, her kids should not be victimized since they are innocent and a blessing from God.
“ I don’t advocate for what Carolyn Kangogo did but nilipo post and said something could be wrong in her relationship with her two boyfriends she murdered, she was hunted like a devil through the media. What other justice was she to get?
“If the public caught with her, they would have lynched her without getting her side of the story because her case has been investigated and prosecuted through the court of public opinion...Bravo to lawyers John Khaminwa and Cliff Ombetta for trying to reach out to her for assistance. Mungu anifundishe kunyamaza but whether she committed suicide or aliuwawa depression is real and the same predicament can befall anyone.
