Cheptumo said her ministry is working with relevant agencies to assess the incident within their respective mandates and determine appropriate action. The CS urged members of the public to act responsibly, cautioning that continued sharing and commentary could cause further harm to the individual involved. According to Naipei, the incident traces back to a meeting arranged with a man she had been communicating with for about a year. “He paid for the cab and asked me to go in club and promised he will come to pay,” she said. The group began drinking, and as the night progressed, Naipei said she asked the man to settle the bill.
