NYS scandal suspect Ann Ngirita has elicited wild reactions among Kenyans on social media after she complained of starvation in prison.
Ngirita raised concerns when she attended a pre-trial conference on their cases at the Milimani Law Courts on Wednesday.
Through her lawyer Cliff Ombeta, she told the court that the last time she had a meal was on Sunday.
She further said that they were being treated as if they were convicted.
He wanted the suspects be given biscuits and water before court proceeds.
The move caused mixed reactions among Kenyans on social media who expressed different views.
A section of Kenyans have ridiculed her while others expressed sympathy.
This is what Kenyans had to say on Twitter:
@beaty kuria Kula jeuri yako..
@eric ochonga 🤣 tell her we’re starving out here too
@ronety If this is starvation, then I wanna join in...that lady knows no hunger n of all she could ask for biscuits aki inamambo
@hakimoraa If indeed it's true that Anne Ngirita has not been given food since Sunday, then that is completely unacceptable! She retains all the rights due to detained persons..and that includes her right to food. Detention facilities are not torture chambers. @HakiKNCHR @ODPP_KE @EACCKenya
@Nyoremo Give us a break on this abeg! She is starving but has the energy to look nice?
