However kenyans on twitter could not help it as they went on commenting here are some of the comments
Esther Passaris the Woman Representative for Nairobi County was quick enough to ask for her cup of tea as well by saying she was also waiting for the presidents invite’
Lucky you. I am still waiting. The President @UKenyatta who resides in my County to invite me for tea. I guess the #Handshake has yet to transcend to the Women Rep of Nairobi. However I remain hopeful as I try to deliver to the over 800 thousand voters that elected me to office.

Tea in Kenya has so many derivatives, in this case it can mean anything.
In this case it might be the other “tea” thats probably why you don’t see any cup infront of Murkomen.— ZëitGêî§T ™ ♔ (@simeonominde) August 18, 2018
