“Ms Wanjiru makes us stop to think about our dedication to other human beings,” said Ms Catherine Gicheru, a member of the Jisa panel of judges. “She could barely move, everybody else feared for their lives, she could have got hurt, and thank God she was not because today we have a hero to celebrate and inspire others.”
She was picked by a panel of judges, which comprise six high ranking media practitioners.
