Media personality Sheila Mwanyigha must be nursing some pangs after a twitter post that went wrong.
The former NTV Presenter put a post on Twitter calling for Kenyans to register for the Beyond Zero marathon, she probably thought she was doing a harmless, or even, noble thing.
But Kenyans were not impressed by the post, which was accompanied by a photo of Mwanyigha in her sports gear – tights with a little skirt-like addition to cover her voluptuous figure and a running shirt.
Kenyans were not irked by her attire, but rather the audacity she had to ask them to pay Sh2,000 (or Sh2,500 for the elite marathon) to participate in the race to raise funds to end infant mortality, yet the state of health care is not up to par.
She posted;
However majority of Kenyans on Twitter felt the Beyond Zero marathon has not accomplished what is was formed to do.
These are some of the comments;

My message is that “People should run for fitness, not to keep others alive!”

Tell our dear first lady that as long as we pay taxes and for NHIF her husband who is our president should do his part and ensure our taxes work for us healthcare wise. Otherwise enjoy your run sis.
