As Kenya experience political tremors displeasure, celebration and disappointments, social media users from each political divide are airing out their perceptions. Some agree with the shocker move the head of state made to bring his perceived political enemy to the table some disagree.
During such moments, government blogger Dennis Itumbi usually is the first to defend his boss William Ruto. But for the last 5 days the social media bigwig is nowhere to be seen or heard. His social media posts on Facebook and X shows emojis he made that left many wondering what it meant.
Itumbi is known to be vocal online and his absence and silence is sending mixed signals to his followers. Some think Itumbi is displeased with what is happening in the political scene and that explains the silence.
William Ruto brought back some of his former cabinet secretaries despite opposition by Kenyan youths- Gen Z. Days later in the second batch the head of state appointed ODM top leadership Wycliffe Oparanya, John Mbadi, Hassan Joho and Opiyo Wandayi to his cabinet, in what he termed as making a government of national unity.
