American Rapper Offers To Raise 1.5 Million Kshs for the Families of the 147 Lives Snatched Away During the Garissa Massacre

At the break of dawn on 2nd April this year, armed gunmen stormed into Garissa University to begin a day-long siege of the campus. Later in the day, the siege came to a bloody end, with 147 lives mostly of students lost.

About 6 months after the attack, families of the victims came out in droves to ask the government for compensation but were sadly informed by a member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee that it would take time.

Saying that “Such cases are very complicated, with minimal chances of success. More so, if it succeeds it may not be the anticipated outcome. The Government cannot just sign off millions of shillings in compensation without a due legal process.”

Now a rapper from the U.S.A known as Trinidad James is looking to help the families of the victims by raising money through gofundme.com.
