Mercy Mokeira and her Siaya counterpart were cruelly labeled ‘unattractive’ by the notorious Kenyans on Twitter in comparison to the inmates.

Despite the vitriol being pitched her way, but she proved that not even a battalion of haters could weigh her spirit or confidence down.

Over the weekend we learnt that Mercy has passed away due to some illness that she contracted after a visit to Tanzania last year. The doctors couldn’t establish what was ailing her despite excessive weight loss and feeling weak all the time.
