Through her Instagram, Wahu shared a screen-shoot of an article written by Daily Nation, highlighting the response given by Michael Muchiri of Kilimani Police station.
“I am appalled by the comments made by Michael Muchiri of kilimani Police station as per this article in the Daily Nation. The dismissive tone in which he addresses the issue of the minor's RAPE , with the insinuation of this somehow being linked to evading exams is such an insult to women!!! How can rape and sexual assault be accorded the seriousness it deserves from the police, If this is the attitude of such a high ranking officer?? As a woman, a mother of girls and a citizen of this great nation of Kenya I say that this statement is insensitive, unfortunate, degrading and a BIG BIG SHAME!” wrote Wahu.
