#JusticeForLiz: Grass Cutting Rapists Get 22 Years Jail Term After 3 Years Of Public Outcry

Finally, it is now crystal clear that online activism is the last powerful tool we have to reach out to concerned parties to deal with situations that affect us either directly or indirectly.

Almost three years down the line, three men in Busia County were commanded to cut grass by the local chief after ambushing a young girl on her way home and gang raping her, causing her severe injuries and loss of dignity.

When the news broke out, an irate country rose in unison and launched a campaign aimed at having the culprits arrested and brought to book.

It was done and after a long wait, we can all afford a sigh of relief as justice is finally served to Liz.

The hashtag #JusticeforLiz is trending once again after the three suspects were served with a 22-year jail term after being found guilty of raping and injuring the victim.
