The exit of @BobGodec had been long https://t.co/REBoMk46L1 he leaves to wherever, he must carry with him his share of blame on the death of Baby Pendo and several other Kenyans. He stood and cheered the government as it butchered innocent Kenyans #GodecLeave #GodecFired— nyandiga (@nyandiga001) March 29, 2018.
