Kenyans have reacted to the sacking of cabinet secretary for Agriculture Mwangi Kiunjuri. His sacking comes at a time when  locusts have invaded Kenya.

Kiunjuri has been for the past week been the butt of every joke after asking Kenyans to take photos of locusts and share them on social media.

'If you see an insect you suspect to be a locust, take its picture and post on social media and we will tell you if it's a locust or not.

Adding

When we see the photos we will send planes to help attack them early in the morning before they start their destruction's.'

Kiunjuri has been excluded from the new cabinet which now comprises of

CS Raychelle Omamo: Foreign Affairs,

Sicily Kariuki: Water and Sanitation.

Ukur Yatani CS: Treasury.

Monica Juma: Defence.

Below are some of the reactions to Kiunjuri's sacking

@pinngponng: MWANGI KIUNJURI has now joined his swarm of locusts after being fired from government!
@kevinFult·: From the Mwangi Kiunjuri's Sacking I've learned that no one should ever under estimate the power of locust
@MigunaMiguna: Mwangi Kiunjuri has been fired by Despot Uhuru Kenyatta because he refused to join the Organized Mafia's whose PRINCIPAL agenda is helping Uhuru Kenyatta cling to power. Uhuru has CONSTRUCTIVELY dismissed, too - in violation of the Constitution.
@BravinYuri: It took Locusts for President Uhuru Kenyatta to sack Mwangi Kiunjuri. Never underestimate the Power of Nature & small people working together.
Seems Pharaoh Listened to the Plague after all. Mwangi Kiunjuri is the Worst CS ever.'
@Waambui: Now that Mwangi Kiunjuri has been fired, should Kenyans also stop taking selfies with insects that they suspect might be locusts?
