Has Marwako come out to say anything about it ?
Know anyone who has suffered from the food poisoning I could speak to?
Know a way I could reach Marwako to speak?#GTVBreakfast

Thank God no one has died.
Was it something in particular they sold or just everything that came from their kitchen?
Imagine the number of people who ate at Marwako this weekend.

The FDA must investigate and sanction them for some weeks.
Speedy recovery to all victims.
Honestly I’m surprised People still go to Marwako to eat after they maltreated the worker.
