Ory Okolloh is a Kenyan who graduated with a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 2005. She is currently based in South Africa working as the Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager and as a consultant on telecommunications and citizen journalism in Africa. She is also affliated with the Kenya National Human Rights Commission and is the co-founder of Kenya’s Parliament watch website - Mzalendo.
In her blog, Kenyan Pundit, she describes the Kenyan crisis through her eyes:
“I feel so powerless knowing that things could escalate, and I am not there with my loved ones.
The prospect of being a Kenyan Refugee is real, which is something that I had never contemplated.
I cannot even begin to think of losing my family at home, and have gone from ringing Nairobi once a week, to five times a day since this whole thing started.”
