"After enjoying the Rift Valley’s view on our way to Nakuru, we were involved in a five-ways traffic collision at Lari.

"Our vehicle crashed into a car that had crashed into a car that had knocked one off the highway. The car behind us crashed into us. Thankfully, we are all alive!" explained Nyanzi, who is one of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's biggest critics.

Nyanzi arrived in the country on September 13 on tour to promote her books across the Kenyan cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu.

She carries out her activism works against the Museveni regime and once served a jail term over a critical work of art that she published on Facebook.

So far, she has authored three works of poetry including No Roses From My Mouth (2020), Don’t Come in My Mouth: Poems That Rattled Uganda (2021)and Eulogies of My Mouth Poems For A Poisoned Uganda (2022). 

"I am excited to read poems in my poetry books in Kenya: No Roses from My Mouth: Poems from Prison (2020) Don’t Come in My Mouth: Poems that Rattled Uganda (2021) and Eulogies of My Mouth: Poems for A Poisoned Uganda (2022) I will autograph all books!" She announced prior to her Kenyan tour.

In February 2021, she was forced to flee to Kenya over political persecution in her homeland as per her Lawyer George Wajackoyah.

“The abductions and detentions of political actors were getting closer to me; my children have been targets of police trailing. I just left prison in February last year and I don’t want to go back,” she announced at the time.
