@KithekaDon: Literally Njugush is laughing at Kenya's desperation forgetting the same leaders we elected humpback kazi kukiwa na event at Statehouse and state function. Son of butch that one...ungrateful lot.

@Mutuabrian: Unpopular opinion: Njugush is better than 99% of his critics. Unlike him who calls out social injustices online, most of you mkipewa chance ya kumeet president, leave alone kumchekesha or kumwambia ukweli , you'll start begging for photos.

@antonyweswa: Comedian Njugush and other online content creators were smiling during the Talanta Hela launch initiative at State House. Why are they lecturing Kenyans now on the leaders they elected? Njugush should keep quiet and take some energy drinks.

@AlinurMohamed: No one elected Njugush to represent them in government. Why are you imposing representative roles on him? Those complaining are the same people who voted for the current government. Blame yourselves, not Njugush.

@alex_ngaira: Artists in this country are always ready to lecture us on how we vote but mkialikwa Statehouse kukula mandazi ya 8 million per day, hapo mnaenda sherehe ... Mouths closed, tails wagging, selfies with the president. Mkitoka huko, you're activists again. Part of the problem.

@JCM_Ness: Normalize kutumia hio akili yako kuambia viongozi ukweli. Ama wakati unaitwa state house na kwingineko huwa unaiachia wakavinye?
