Moses Kuria
The Gatundu Member of Parliament is the poster child of hate speech in Kenya.
Every time the legislature opens his mouth he never closes it without uttering an insult or a foul word.
Until he came into the political scene, the Kenyan political space much as it was dirty it was not that foul mounted however thanks to the second time MP Kenyan leaders have learnt from him and now trade barbs like sailors.
His barbs is normally directed to Kenyan opposition chief Raila Odinga and sometimes the Luo community, he has uttered so many unprinted insults enough to make a priest go deaf that it can’t be written here without the risk of angering sections of Kenyans.

Uhuru Kenyatta
When President Uhuru Kenyatta come into office in 2013, not much was known about him apart from being the son of the Kenya’s founding father and being one of the most humble presidents despite his immense wealth.
However that picture quickly evaporated as the political pressure continued to pill on his youthful shoulders.

His vocabulary nowadays boosts of colourful words like Shetani, and Mkora among others (Devil and thug) leaving some to wonder if hurling insults has become the new qualification for presidency.
Babu Owino
