President Uhuru blocks Kenyans for asking wrong questions at #ChatwithUhuru

#ChatWithUhuru hashtag has trended since last evening, and this is because President Uhuru invited Kenyans to engage him on social media, particularly Facebook, over his  Action Plan for more jobs and lower prices.

Although a number of Kenyans sent thousands of questions via Twitter through the #ChatWithUhuru hashtag, the real discussion happened live on Facebook through the Facebook Live feature. The Facebook engagement took about 45 minutes, but a 17 minutes version of the engagement has been saved in the official Facebook Page of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

From Facebook, President Uhuru was able to pick a select questions and responded to them. Most of those questions were mostly centered on Jobs and Security, especially security surrounding a peaceful general elections.

Even though the discussion also happened on Twitter, the President did not answer to any of those Twitter questions. Some of the top questions asked at Twitter included the following:

In addition to not answering any Twitter questions, President Uhuru took it upon himself to block some Kenyans who dared ask the wrong questions. One such Kenyan is Francis Gaitho.

The other person equally blocked is a Twitter user going by the name D of the Twitter handle @DeepUpKeep

 

Over at Facebook, Faith Mutembei, one of NASA bloggers, provided a hint to the type of questions that these Twitter users were saying. According to Ms. Mutembei, her friend was blocked for asking why President Uhuru intends to arrest Joho and Kingi but not Waiguru and Murkomen.

The act of blocking Kenyans on Twitter has normally been associated with Deputy President William Ruto. The fact that President Uhuru can dare block Kenyans for asking the wrong questions at this time of the campaigns, in my humble opinion, cannot work well for them.
