Oscar A***d winner Lupita Amondi Nyong’o was moved to tears by a poem on insecurity in Kenya. The theme of the c**ral verse, narrated in her native D**luo dialect, by pupils from Mariwa P***ary Sc**ol highlighted the ************* due to ********* *******, according to a report in the Nation.

The story line of the  ‘Magenga’ follows a young man w** promised to build her mother a **use but was ****** by *********.

Excerpts:
You had the ambition of being a doctor.
Why did you *** before putting on the graduation gown?
Why did they **** you before you build me a nice **use 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. Kenya has been on the global spotlight over rising insecurity, especially ********* which started with the 1998 ******* of the US emb***y in Nairobi which left more than 200 people ****** and over 3,000 *******.

Ever since ****** ******* have become a regular phenomenon in the country, with ****** groups linked to Al-***** targeting the public, key e****lishments and churches. The latest ****** was the Garrisa University ****** where 146 people were ******.

The actress w** won an Oscar for her role in the movie 12 Years A ***** last year was visiting her Seme **me in Kisumu County for a session to mentor young girls.
She encouraged the girls to struggle with their iden***y so they achieve what they want to be in life.

“Differences make us the same than nothing else, do not lose sense of w** you are while struggling to retain your iden***y,” she said. “Education s**uld embrace the arts to help us express ourselves better. “It doesn’t matter where you come from but where you going. Work to***ds making a change to the world and you would be known,” she said.
