The government critic,” While Kenya Kwanza led by Nabii Mpenda Maombi is asking God to drop MANNA from heaven to feed Kenyans facing drought and hunger at Nyayo Stadium. Alshabaab are bombing Garissa. Three police have died instantly.
Rachel Ruto should divert her to praying for security sasa.”

Ogola tweeted,”Metrology department study showing rains expected in 2 weeks. Now Ruto is at Nyayo stadium praying for rain. You will see UDA and KKA bloggers linking the prayers to rain that is forecasted by the metrology department. A bunch of empty heads.”

Weswa,”Beyond zero campaign is gone. Linda mama project is a past tense. Rachel Ruto is just a First lady by name. Nothing meaningful, just praying and thanksgiving. Kenyans problems are beyong prayers.”
