Mutua stated, “Too much ado about nothing on Mali Safi Chito. Leave the girl alone. She is loving her moments of fame. Don’t rain on her parade!

He further defended Marakwet Daughter’s assertiveness, suggesting that her response was provoked by ongoing criticism. Mutua pointed out that some individuals might struggle to accept an assertive woman who knows how to defend herself, urging for understanding and support instead of condemnation.
The outpouring of support from figures like Kilobi and Mutua underscores the complexities of navigating online criticism and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of adversity.
