How Kenyans reacted to the assassination of Ms Lilian Waithera

Kenyans have raised their eyebrows and grown curious as to what occurred on the day Waithera was shot. Was it a mistake? Was it a lethal precision, on-target shot?

People are speculating that her assassination was on the grounds that she was a whistleblower.

However, the NHIF has cleared the air in a statement, where they have expressed concern about various social media death speculations and have asked the public to allow relevant investigations to be conducted by the appropriate authorities.

The report cleared the air of the document circulating online and confirmed that Mr Godfrey Mwangi is not the institution's CEO, as claimed in the report.

The NHIF also asks that the public give the late Waithera's family peace as they mourn their loved one and also denies public claims that Ms Lilian was a whistleblower.

Witnesses say Waithera held her chest before collapsing, which they initially mistook for a heart attack. Her coworkers and good Samaritans summoned an ambulance, but she was pronounced dead before arriving at Nairobi Hospital.

The 46-year-old Mary Lilian Waithera collapsed and died while walking with colleagues along Kaunda Street in the CBD around 5 p.m.

It was a shock to the public as the autopsy report revealed that she was shot to death.
