Kenyans on twitter started reacting on the President’s post, with some seemingly being worried.
Considering the fact that Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world, Kenyans on twitter started reacting harshly on grounds that the president was after a loan from the rich Bill Gates.
They started mentioning the debts Kenya is already owing other countries especially China and urged the President not to borrow more money from Bill Gates.
kopa tu bill gates na hujamalizana na kina donny yen…..

They were angered with how Chinese people are treating Kenyans in their own land with the incident where a railway tunnel in Ngong was named and labeled in Chinese language irritating them more.

They now argue that the main route cause for Chinese to invade in Kenya is the big debt we owe them and they now urge the president not to borrow more.
