#Ushawai nunua toja apo gikomba saa tatu usiku... hashtag brings out the best of Kenyans on Twitter

By William Osoro

Twitter is the home of memes and trolls. Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) are a movement …scratch that, a force( ask one Anne Waiguru). This is where you find geniuses and the absurd, Einsteins and Kanyes.

Recently, the hashtag #Ushawai was trending and it brought out the best in Kenyans. From the hilarious to the absolutely brutal. Before I list them down, I have a question- #Ushawai kaa bila kupigiwa simu hadi ukaiweka kando ya kitunguu unakata uone kama italia?

Here are the top 14 tweets(no particular order):
