Larry Madowo Pens An Emotional Piece About The Poor And The Rich In Death. It Will For Sure Move You!

In his usual column on the Daily Nation and which I am so fond of, Larry Madowo painfully pens an emotional article, bashing Kenyans for their hypocrisy when it comes to matters mourning the fallen Kenyans from different tragedies.

Madowo thinks deeply that Kenyans tend to subject the poor to further poverty in their graves as they celebrate the rich, mourn them compassionately and passionately, highlighting their high degrees of hypocrisy and what can be termed as discrimination.

The NTV anchor goes on to highlight how Kenyans have mourned the victims of terrorist and banditry attacks, from Westgate to Mpeketoni to Kapedo and the latest one in Mandera.

Here, Madowo thinks the Westgate victims were mourned with dignity, were high glorified and praised in equal measure, because majority of them were the rich. The rest of the victims in other attacks were not given the attention they deserved. They could be stacked behind police land rovers and be transported like sacks of maize to the nearest mortuaries.

He vividly remembers and narrates the ordeal he saw when Kenyans were brutally murdered in Mpeketoni, and now in Mandera.
