Mama Wangari Maathai, lives forever and bring your killers to their ruin..
I was honored to meet Wangari Maathai in 2006, take a photo with her during her trip to Boston and learn more about her important work. She was a visionary champion who fought an uphill battle against powerful political forces who opposed her leadership. She won on many fronts and proved that women can lead in the fight to save the environment. May God bless her soul, and may she rest in peace.
Rest in peace MAMA.How you stomped where men couldn't tip toe,how you shouted where men couldn't whisper.I won't shed a tear though my eyes are welling.But i will celebrate your life and strife to emulate your courage to stand up for the down trodden and what is right.HABA KALE MAMA.
i can't stop shedding tears, i loved this woman, was so looking forward to seeing her this wednesday at the University of Nebraska this wednesday but her talk was cancelled and no explanation offered. Mama you fought hard for our rights as women and for our future generations. now go rest. Your name will never be forgotten. To all kenya male politicians who harrassed this woman may you get whats coming your way.

RIP namesake ...you were an inspiration to many.you may have gone early but you had done so much.you will be remembered for generations to come.you truly lived up to the wangari name
It's a sad day for courageous fighters the world over. For every Wangari Maathai, Robert Ouko, JM Kariuki and Tom Mboya, we have had 200K Murugis, Sonkos, Waititus, Gumos and other muppets and hooligans who now lead the country. If we could have the wisdom to pick and choose our leaders more carefully.... [sigh...]
What a great leader and woman. I don't think we have lost you but I think we have just given birth to the dream of many more to follow in your trail of persistance and stanidng for what we know is right no matter what. And she was quite well educated so whatever we try to do, make sure you have a good knowledge and not just be like the rest.
Misplaced priorities by Kenyan voters: (i) in 1997 we denied Maathai an opportunity to become president and MP because she did not tow the line of our ethnic agenda, (ii) in 2003 we voted her in as MP of Tetu because she was on the "right" ethnic ticket, (iii) in 2007, we punished her for not being loyal enough to our ethnic agenda. Yet all along we knew she had more moral character and fortitude in her little finger than the rest of the presidential candidates we have ever had put together!
Sad day for the country and indeed the whole world. May she rest in Peace and thank you for all you have done for the fights you have fought to help us better understand nature and how to interact with it to foster our survival in the unforgiving climate of Africa. We will miss you BIG. But know this, the fight goes on, the dream lives on, you have done your part...now it is our turn...
