“Hey, your views are getting more strident and desperare by the day bro. What's with this Kikuyu profiling and ethnic siren on your tongue? Kenyans will make their choices as individuals despite you spewing this grotesque ethnic chauvinism and hatred in the guise of analysis” David Makali.
Another user added “Mutahi ngunyi and some few TRIBAL HATERS have been benefiting from tribal politics and groupings. Their time is up. Why mention kikuyu in all your tweets in 21 century? The narrative you are trying to create is not working. Kikuyus are with HUSTLER”.
