Beatrice Elachi, the MP for Dagoreti North, has lost her son, Elvis Murakana, just days after he was involved in an accident. This is a very sad and painful time for her family, but the reaction online has not been kind. Many people, especially young Kenyans (Gen Z), have shown little sympathy and even celebrated her loss. This harsh response comes from her past comments and views, especially when she disagreed with Gen Z activists during political discussions. Many online have called this “karma,” mocking her grief instead of offering condolences.
Despite the online negativity, President William Ruto has expressed his sympathy, saying, “May God give Beatrice Elachi and her family strength to cope with the loss of their dear son, Elvis Murakana.” Others have also called for more kindness, reminding people that grief is something everyone goes through, and political differences shouldn’t take away our humanity.
May his soul rest in peace 💔🕊️.
