"She can sue KeNHA for negligence or breach of duty of care if the walkway is along a national highway or KERRA kama ni mashinani."

"Wanaume wote wabaya, ila wanaume ndio wanamuokoa hapo, ila sisi wanaume Mungu atubariki sana. Kama wewe ni mwanaume jipige kifua mara tatu."

"All this time I'll be worried about my leg being uko ndani... What if there's a snake apo ndani?"
Mr. Sam
"Whenever I walk on those pavements, I make sure that my phone is in my pockets, properly."

"Honestly, if this were me, I do not know what I could have done. I feel for the lady, but at the same time, I need to know how she got trapped inside there. You people should advise the government to consider pedestrians' safety when doing such constructions. This can be traumatising especially when it happened in a lone place at night."
