Daily Nation columnist Rasna Warah on Tuesday posted a suicidal note on her official Twitter account but Kenyans came to her rescue, reminding her of how valuable she is.
“Suicide tips anyone?” she asked.
This attracted a myriad of comments from concerned citizens who offered help, including contacts of qualified experts.
Kibra lawmaker Ken Okoth was among those who swiftly responded by saying: “Please don't think of it. Don't do it.
“You mean so much to so many of us.”
