Kenyans rip into Sankok for history of abusing political opponents, despite recent loss of son

Kenyans on social media exhibited a disturbingly dark and unforgiving side this week, after they heaped insults on nominated MP David ole Sankok who is wrapped in grief following his teenage son’s death.

Not that it is the first time the politician is getting caught up in a national storm. Mostly dressed in patriotic colours heavily borrowed from Kanu and the national flag, Sankok, who represents Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the National Assembly, always stands out in a crowd. Sankok served as chairman of the National Council of People with Disabilities before joining active politics in 2017.
