Youth in Kibera have also decided to do what is within their means to immortalized their late MP. A group of artists in the slums have honored the MP with a graffiti.
“Ken was very supportive of his people here in Kibra and especially the youth and so we thought the best way to honour him was to have his graffiti done here in Kibra,” said one of the artists.
