Betty Kyallo raises alarm over killings targeting women and children
By Paulette Mboga, May 22, 2026Media personality Betty Kyallo has raised concerns over the increasing killings of women and children in Kenya.
In a message shared online on Friday, May 22, 2026, she urged people to be more careful and alert about the safety of children in their communities. She explained that the reports of children being killed in brutal ways are painful and disturbing.
Betty urged Kenyans to pay close attention to children around them and speak up whenever something feels wrong.
“Let’s be extra vigilant with children,” Betty Kyallo said.
Betty also said the number of children losing their lives in violent incidents is heartbreaking. She noted that communities need to work together to protect children from danger.
“Too many kids have been killed in the most brutal ways, and it’s heartbreaking,” she explained.
The media personality further encouraged people to look out for children in neighbourhoods and residential estates. According to her, taking caution could help prevent more tragedies from happening.
“Let’s take caution with children around us, in our neighbourhoods, estates,” Betty Kyallo stated.
Calls for more protection
Betty also urged Kenyans to stop ignoring suspicious situations involving children and families. She said people should raise an alarm whenever they notice unusual behaviour around them.
She added that the continued killings of women and children are deeply painful. Betty described the situation as sad and worrying for many families across the country.
“Aki, it’s sad the killings against women and children,” Betty Kyallo said.
Her remarks came shortly after media personality Amina Abdi also questioned why Kenya still does not have a femicide law despite the growing number of women being killed. Amina spoke about the fear many families are currently living in because of insecurity and reports of missing children.
She explained that many Kenyans are exhausted because life has become more difficult. According to Amina, the rising cost of living and fear within communities have left many people struggling emotionally and financially.
“It’s truly heartbreaking to see what being a Kenyan living in Kenya has become,” Amina Abdi said.
Amina also noted that parents are now living in fear because of increasing reports involving missing children. Her statement added to the growing concerns being raised by public figures over the safety of women and children in the country.
