Kenyans online bashed Kenyan radio station Classic 105 over a question viewed by many as being inconsiderate.
During the morning show on 29 May hosted by Maina Kageni and Mwalimu ‘Churchill’ King’ang’i, the station shared an engagement post regarding the recent rise in women killings in Kenya.
“Guys, what’s the worst thing a woman could do to make you end her life?” the post read.

It attracted the ire of Kenyans on social media, where some opinionated that the post implied there’s a valid reason to murder a woman.

It’s so scary to imagine that someone could end you for offending them just because of your gender ????
It’s scarier to see how nonchalant a whole radio station is towards femicide.
Shut down the entire station— Awake (@maumauzdaughter) May 28, 2019
You seem to have misplaced this tweet @Classic105Kenya so I kept it safe for you. pic.twitter.com/okGBrMq54v — ????????Nyaguthii Akinyi????????? (@_omalicha__) May 28, 2019
