Kenyan governors, for the better part of it, have been ridiculed for their poor command of the English language.
So much so that they have turned into overnight memes that flood the internet on a regular basis.
It’s safe to say that the likes of Waititu and Sonko have been the soft underbelly, targeted by a flurry of derogatory comments regarding their abysmall command of the English language!
Unfortunately, to the dismay of many Twitter fingers out here, Sonko delivered an excellent speech at the UN COnference.
In case you missed the speech, here it is:

In response, netizens proudly took to Twitter to congratulate the Nairobi governor:
