"Dear Mr President, Years of corruption and deceit have united Kenyans in anger and disappointment. We demand change - in your cabinet, into the laws, and in your perception of the Kenyan people. Don't give people more reasons to protest against a leadership that has left them feeling unsafe and disillusioned.
People have sacrificed their lives for this country; you cannot shoot your way out of this crisis. Be a leader, not a bystander, watching your country go up in flames" her post read.
Captioning it the former news anchor eulogized the citizens who had sadly lost their lives during the peaceful protests that eventually turned dangerously chaotic after citizens overpowered anti-riots polices and breached Parliament.
"Rest in Peace to those who took to the streets only to die in such senseless acts of brutality. Condolences to their families and friends.May we continue to call for and fight for a better Kenya. #Evolution revolution #Listen to the people #God for us all," Janet wrote.
Speaking to citizens who would be on the streets demonstrating today, the activist urged them to exercise caution to avoid loss of lives as seen on Tuesday.
"Kenya stands at a pivotal moment... Given the recent violence anger is valid but caution is essential. Please be careful, stay informed, vigilant and united," her post read.
