‘Kachok dumpsite reclaimed to Baby Pendo Botanical Park.’

"Baby Pendo was only six months old when she lost her life through violence that should never have occurred. She never voted. She never belonged to any political party. Yet her death compelled the country to confront uncomfortable questions about the relationship between politics, justice and human dignity," Nyong'o said.
