Kenyans on twitter have weighed in on the recent saga involving two politicians who CS Rashid Echesa and Senator Cleophas Malala’s whose rivalry seems to have taken a new twist from threatening each other online to blackmailing each other with nude photos.
CS Echesa’s photos in a compromising situation have been spreading online after being leaked by one of his intermediaries and three journalists on a video admitted that they were given a deal to Photoshop the images and implicate senator Cleophas Malala.
A deal gone sour.. Malala, is on record addressing the issue and revealed how he found out about the deal.
“When the photo went viral, the official told the journalists to Photoshop the image and replace his face with mine,”
“I was tipped about what happened and I got police to arrest the journalists,” Malala said.

If the allegations by Senator Cleophas Malala are true that CS Rashid Echesa paid crooked journalists to run him thro’ the gutter, then the President has no choice but fire Echesa who also should be arrested. The fight against Corruption & Impunity must be real.

The problem is proof ,it might be a “ play victim game”,politicians are known to go the extra mile to get public support no matter what let the victim file a police case and @DCI_Kenya do the investigations …nowadays am no longer surprised by what can people do….

I may not agree with @Cleophasmalala on his current political stand, buy what Achesa tried to pull on him is appalling, barbaric and primitive. SHAME! pic.twitter.com/UWEYRXRXPA
