Kenyans foresee politics in President Uhuru’s Pan Paper reopening remarks

The announcement by President Uhuru Kenyatta that collapsed Webuye Pan Paper factory in Bungoma County will be reopened caused social media buzz on Twitter.

Using the trending hashtag #PanPaperReopens, Kenyans reacted to the remarks by President Uhuru, some castigating him for using pan paper reopening to look for votes in the vote rich Western Kenya.
