What this child told mum about politics will break your heart

A Nairobi mum moved tweeps after sharing details of a conversation she had with her daughter on the country’s politics.

The six year-old had told her mum that she supports Jubilee Party because she does not want to be shot.

The mother, @maithakahaso went to question where the country is headed.

The tweet has been shared over 500 times and attracted dozens of comments from users who urged political leaders to set a good example for Kenyan children.

My 6 yo daughter told me that she is in Jubilee
reasons – she doesn't want to be shot.
Asked her where she heard that.
School – she said.

This is going to haunt us for generations. It already is. I can’t believe what we are teaching our children.
