It is almost a week since the March 4th national general elections conducted by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the presidential results are yet to be released. There is an impatient and restless atmosphere in the country. On this fateful day, it is about three in the afternoon and people are slowly trickling into the church hall that doubles up as a community hall in Mathare’s Stage 10 area. 
Ruth Mumbi has been nominated for this years Front Line Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk. The award is to recognise outstanding contributions made by human rights activists. Ruth is one of six nominees selected from a total of 90 nominations. Two of her fellow nominees are currently in prison. Congratulations go to Ruth.
