A storm of reactions has flooded social media after nominated senator Karen Nyamu raised eyebrows with a bold statement questioning who actually arrested Albert Ojwang.
Her comments have sent shockwaves across the country with many Kenyans furious over what they see as an attempt to shift blame and confuse the public.
Kenyans from all walks of life did not hold back. Many questioned why an elected leader would hint at a possible staged arrest when official records and public reports show Albert Ojwang was in police custody.
Social media platforms erupted with angry threads accusing the senator of gaslighting the nation and insulting the grief of a family that lost a son.
Others expressed disbelief at the suggestion of self-abduction pointing out that the timeline of events is clear.
From his arrest in Homa Bay to his death in a Nairobi police cell the public has been closely following every twist in the story. For many this is not just about Albert but about years of unresolved deaths in custody.
Some users defended Nyamu saying she was calling for deeper scrutiny and transparency. A few argued that her comments were aimed at exposing the politicisation of the tragedy rather than absolving the police.
Still the overall mood online is one of anger and disbelief. Hashtags demanding justice continue to trend as more leaders come under pressure to pick a side.
Kenyans are now asking for more than just suspensions and statements. They want arrests. They want truth. They want justice.
Karen Nyamu may have added fuel to an already burning fire but one thing is clear. The people are watching. They are demanding answers. And they will not be silenced.
