Social media reaction on Eva Buyu’s appointment
Uhuruto killed Chris Musando & rewarded his wife Eva Buyu with a State job. Migori Governor Okoth Obado will learn from the same, he will be set free and then appoint Sharon Otieno 's mother to county job.
And that's how we sanitise impunity in Kenya.

Supporting her to take up the job
Eva Buyu should not think twice in taking that job. In any case, Msando was cheating on her! Now, she should cheat on him by taking the job!

I wonder with Kenyans sometimes, since when Chris died noone has contributed to Eva buyu's kids, rent or food, and now they are here trolling her. The widow needs a job, she has kids, ailing mother and bills to pay. Fuck you ass holes.
The only problem are those recycled rejects

When Chris Msando widow Eva Buyu hit news headlines having tough financial times and difficulties taking care of her kids, Kenyans urged Raila to utilise handshake to sort out the problem. Now she has been awarded job, Kenyans are again complaining.

Those against her appointment
Eva Buyu is a kenyan and as such, she is qualified to serve her country. Congratulations Madam Eva Buyu Msando. Protect those young kids and give them warmth. God bless you… pic.twitter.com/GJIGdzs2MZ

So the killer of "Chris Msando" uhuru kenyatta has decided to confess publicly to Msando's wife Eva Buyu barely one year after? What a mockery to the family, friends &relatives?
Eva Buyu, a job for your husband's life? NO. Get anything else you can do. God will less your work.

Eva Buyu should decline the EPZ board member job. Chris Msando will turn in his grave otherwise. It's not like they vetted everyone and found her the only suitable. It's compensation for negating her breadwinner

Eva Buyu should refuse that job. Jubilee had her husband Chris Msando murdered because he claimed he had a chip to the IEBC servers in his arm.
Taking that job is spitting on his grave. Raila was supposed to ensure justice not get her a job. Shame on her for accepting it.
