Dear Kenyan newspapers,
Why on earth is @PeterTabichi @TeacherPrize win not a headline?
The rest of the world has his story front and centre but you don’t see the merit?
That’s why I don’t buy newspapers anymore. #Priorities #HongeraTabichi #AfricaForTheWin #GESF #GTP pic.twitter.com/9GlG5PqYts— Julie Gichuru (@JulieGichuru) March 25, 2019
