Julie Gichuru is active on social media and while that is a good thing, it comes with some trolls every now and then. This would be one of those moments.

While Julie Gichuru has not spoken about her political affiliations on her social media pages, she has on occasion betrayed where they lie.

Add to that the fact that in Kenya and sadly in Africa, more often than not, ethnicity heavily influences political leanings. One man decided to put his tribalism on display when he attacked Julie Gichuru in a thinly veiled stab at her ethnicity.

And the best thing to do here is simply to let the photos of how this played out do the talking:

charlesodhiambo98:

You people are milking Kenya dry.. ‘n very soon we shall have our say.

And Julie Gichuru decided to respond. But she took the high road refusing to attack the man in the mud pit he was already in. Julie Gichuru played it out so smoothly as you can see below:

@charlesodhiambo98 who is ‘You people’? Which milk of yours have I touched? I grew up on a farm and my grandmother taught me to milk our cows. It is a lesson I have never forgotten. I have never milked another persons cows. It makes sense to invest time, effort, capital and sweat in your cows, as you will milk yours, not someone else’s. Speaking of milk. I also breastfed all my children for up to 2 years (some longer). The only milk I have had from others was when I attended a government school for two years and we were given Nyayo milk at the end of the day. Hii maziwa yako ni gani?
