Susan Wandeto, sister to singer Rachel Wandeto, has addressed the growing online debate surrounding her sister’s sudden death, urging the public to exercise restraint as investigations continue.
She noted that while social media speculation has linked the tragedy to possible political motives, the family is not rushing to conclusions and is relying on official findings.
“It is painful to see people making assumptions. We are grieving and waiting for answers from the authorities,” she said.
Susan added that the family finds it difficult to fully believe or dismiss claims circulating online, emphasizing that only a thorough investigation will reveal the truth.
She further called on the government to strengthen policies and systems that protect citizens and ensure justice for victims of unexplained deaths.
According to her, such measures would help prevent similar tragedies in the future and restore public trust in investigative institutions.
Community members and fans of Rachel Wandeto have also continued to share messages of condolence, with many demanding transparency in the investigation process.
Authorities have since confirmed that inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death are ongoing, with updates expected once preliminary findings are completed.
Susan concluded by urging the public to avoid spreading unverified information, saying that speculation only deepens the family’s pain during an already difficult period.
She asked Kenyans to support the grieving family and allow investigators space to complete their work without interference. We appreciate all messages, but we urge patience as facts emerge and official communication is released in due course. She said peace remains important for the mourning household and local community.
