The blogger made ruthless post against Adelle after her TED talk against the rape culture in Kenya, Nyakundi posted on twitter “Adelle Onyango gave a powerful speech against the rape culture. Pardon me for my ignorance but who in their right mind would want to rape let alone have consensual sex with her? Asking for a friend” This story was carried in media including the Standard newspaper of 22 October, 2017. Adelle went on Facebook and hit back at the blogger for turning her post that was meant to oust rape culture into one instigating rape and women objectification. She said “I will not let you dim my light or my message. You have turned a powerful anti-rape message into one about YOUR sexual preferences. This is not about who you want to have sex with Cyprian this is concerning the fact that in 2008 the Crime Scene Investigation Nairobi reported that there were 40,500 rape cases in Kenya. Adelle concluded by encouraging women; “Soon the day is coming where our femininity as women will be valued in itself and not in its relation to masculinity it seems today is not that day but until then we keep up the work and keep doing dope things.” KOT condemned Nyakundi for his cruel post.
