Achieng has also asked Kenyans to read the BBI report and make a decision that will see the Country moving forward.
She also appreciated the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga that has united the country.

Pendo’s father Joseph Abanja urged politicians not to incite Kenyans.
Abanja called on President Uhuru Kenyatta not to forget their family’s plight.
