Tables turned for President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday following his angry speech at Mangu, Kiambu County.
Uhuru found himself on the other side of the coin after his remarks over the ongoing BBI report debate backfired terribly.
The president became the talk of the town through the hashtag #confusedpresident and #uhurukenyatta.
Netizens remarked that they had enough of the Head of State’s “shenanigans” allegedly directed at Deputy President William Ruto.
According to the opinions on the social media platform, Uhuru was at fault for the rift being witnessed between Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Uhuru openly frustrates Ruto
The Jubilee Party head is proclaimed to be angry with his deputy yet he openly frustrates him.
A section of Kenyans noted that the Commander-in-Chief’s habit of making his angry address in vernacular language was wrong.
Here are some of the reactions:
Arap Kariuki remarked that, “It’s unfortunate Kenya has the most #Confusedpresident when it needs good governance. Worst is that #UhuruKenyatta addresses this nation in vernacular while attacking his deputy #Ruto, thinking he won’t know a word. If he feels it’s too much, let him resign.”
Another netizen identified as Amogola Eric commented that, “The only thing #UhuruKenyatta has achieved in a span of 10yrs is speaking fluent KIKUYU & not forgetting useless memes. Big 4 Agenda zero. Laptop project zero. Stadiums Zero. EMPLOYMENT zero. He remains with only one stone left at his disposal, #BBIReport. Don’t blame it on Ruto.”
Amedo Shahir expressed that, “Uhuru is after breaking this country into finer pieces than he found it !!”
Musa Nyandusi stated that, “The so-called Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which is the outcome of Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga’s famous handshake is simply not going to tell us anything new #ConfusedPresident“
Nahashon Kimemia pointed out that, “I’m tired of fearing that #Ruto will engineer violence in the Rift Valley. I’m tired of fearing that Raila will cause chaos. Chaos ndiyo zake from 1982 coup attempt to date. I’m tired of this #ConfusedPresident ruining our economy while forcing BBI down our throats. Wewe je?”
Can we contract Kibaki for the remaining Uhuru's term.
we are sinking !🙇#ConfusedPresident pic.twitter.com/tTyz6fm7pQ

Uhuru Kenyatta went to launch a Japanese funded dispensary of 8M!
He financed BBI which costed 10B to come up with a Kindergarten school Story Book!

Mr President When a family is falls apart i.e husband & wife not in good terms and the children are fighting each other most of the time it's the man who has failed to take control of his family. People won't blame the wife & the children#UhuruKenyatta #ConfusedPresident

However, there is a section of Kenyans who disagree with the sentiments propagated by the trending hashtag.
The pro- Uhuru fans believe that the president is justified in his rant.
Rono Kipchumba articulated that, “Tanga Tanga orphans sponsoring silly Hashtag #ConfusedPresident will never change anything. William Ruto will never be President. Hii itabaki tu kuwa #TBT“
Abuga Makori noted that, “When Kibaki felt undermined by Moi while serving as VP, he resigned and joined the opposition. If #Ruto feels that Uhuru is antagonising him, he’s free to do so. Let him not blame Raila for his woes. As the opposition, we will not allow him to disrespect Uhuru. #ConfusedPresident“
Amakanji Moses muttered that, “Itumbi & his tweeps were rattled by President Uhuru remarks yesterday. Kumbe they know he was addressing their boss! Now he has told them to roll out #ConfusedPresident & make sure it trends Junet told us Jubilee house is on let them sort it out but they insulted him!”
Tanga Tanga leaders are confused
President Uhuru presided over a dispensary opening ceremony in the area out openly ridiculed the DP and those allied to him.
The son of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta uttered that the Tanga Tanga leaders lacked a sense of direction.
He articulated that Kenyans had enough of the political disputes being peddled by the leaders.
During his outburst, Uhuru insinuated that Ruto lacked the understanding of letting go of the hate for the ODM leader.
Uhuru noted that the Kenyans should not be tricked or influenced by the Ruto camp over what decision to make concerning the BBI document.
The fourth president of the republic’s behaviour painted the picture that the cracks within the ruling party had deepened.
