Oscar Award winner Lupita Amondi Nyong’o was on Wednesday moved to tears by a poem on insecurity in Kenya.
The choral verse in Dholuo by pupils from Mariwa Primary School highlighted the high number of Kenyans who have lost their lives to terrorist attacks.
The choral verse named Magenga narrated how a young man who promised to build her mother a house was killed by terrorist.
“You had the ambition of being a doctor.
Why did you die before putting on the graduation gown?
Why did they kill you before you build me a nice house that you promised?
Why the insecurity in the country,” the children sung.
Ms Nyongo together with her mother Mrs Dorothy Nyong’o wept in public.
Dressed elegantly in a green Kitenge, pink blazer and green flat shoes, the actress who won an Oscar for her role in the movie 12 Years A slave last year was visiting her Seme home in Kisumu County for a session to mentor young girls.
