Humor as Uhuru faces social media fury from fellow Kenyans

We gave Uhuru 1,537 MCAs, 349 MPs up from 210 and 67 senators. We gave him six constitutional commissions with commissioners plus their secretariats, 47 governors, their deputies and county executives. Where do we want him to get their salaries from and at the same time improve the infrastructure? When he borrows, he's over-borrowing. When he taxes us, we are being overtaxed. He tries fighting graft but lawyer MPs are in court defending the suspects. When he tries to make corruption painful by demolishing illegal structures, we complain that the buildings should have been spared because of their worth. What do we want as Kenyans? Trevis Mix

Let Kenyans pay taxes as demanded by the law and stop grumbling. This is what Kenyans agreed when they responded to 'tano tena'. In fact, I regret that Uhuru failed to sign the 16 percent fuel tax. Many of us are law-abiding Kenyans and we want to support our wise and hardworking President and his active Deputy President to serve Kenyans. Those who are loudly complaining are the same people who forced us to make a bed we had refused to make. Now let us all lie on it. It is your time to accept and move on. Abingo Benard
