Senator Susan Kihika Slams President Uhuru for Flouting COVID-19 Protocols

Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika has slammed President Kenyatta for allegedly breaking COVID-19 protocols.

Kihika accused Kenyatta of holding political meetings at State House in complete disregard of the government guidelines for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"So Uhuru bans all political meetings and public gatherings of whatever nature in the 5 counties (Nairobi included). Then hosts a political gathering and posts it on his official page for all to see? IMPUNITY & MTADO attitude stretched too far?  Anyway mtado?" Kihika posted on Twitter on Saturday.

The outspoken senator was reacting to President Kenyatta’s meeting with Maasai leaders led by Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko at State House, Nairobi on Friday.

In a statement, State House said matters touching on the progress of the Maa Community, among them its rich culture, were discussed during the meeting.

“The leaders thanked the Head of State for the support the community continues to receive from the Government including several development projects in their areas,” State House said.

Other Maa leaders who attended the meeting included Devolution PS Charles Sunkuli, his Planning counterpart Saitoti Torome and Narok North MP Moitalel Ole Kenta.

Kenyatta banned all forms of public gatherings last month as part of the measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 in the country. The restriction runs until the end of May.

    Ms Kihika. Whose attack dog are you? There must be a reason why you are going at Uhuru's jugular every week. What's the plot here?

  3. TitusApr 27, 2021

    Do you Sleepy Joe and Kamala floating the covid rules they put forward..

  4. JohnApr 27, 2021

    We have a big problem in Kenya. Everything must be seen through the lens of politics even when common sense needs to prevail. What Ms Kihika is saying and I don't necessarily agree with everything she says, is common sense.

    Anyone watching the situation in India right now will agree that we need all we can do to mitigate a potentially explosive Covid 3rd wave.

    @John, I agree. If you set the rules, then you must abide by them. No exceptions.

    You agree with everything alone barking dog say! You even agree with her saying you should try to get a man to marry at your now age of 80. By the way did any old dudes feel mercy on you for a hand in marriage? What kind of carca are you?

  9. MercyApr 28, 2021

    Liz bitch gakilini nonsense! Can you have your sense of originality? You make all your kind ashamed, literally!

  10. MoraniApr 28, 2021

    You are always a damn victim of yourself, the white people and your own dirty mind. No wonder no single man wants you. Even the disabled men have run away from you! A creature of victimization of her own self always complaining about nothing!

  11. TypicalApr 28, 2021

    Men, are you that mean against the disabled? Able man, disability is like death which can clip at any minute. Watch your words.

  12. JudyApr 28, 2021

    That is how low Kenyans have sunk! I believe Kenyans for adopting the stupid culture from the silly politicians who are mentally sick! This sick woman is the last one to be a role model for the society, let alone to women in general.

  13. Morris MenyeApr 27, 2021

    WaKarura should also challenge Ruto on his meeting today with Diaspora guys at his Karen house.Maybe both majambazi Uhuru & Ruto inherited Walwa’s stupidity of COVID denial.But the same UTOTO coursed his expiry.

  14. Kora kaniniApr 27, 2021

    Covid is here to stay.
    So let's embrace it and deal with it.
    Life goes on covid or no covid.

  15. MūgīkūyūApr 27, 2021

    The one complaining is not even wearing a mask.
    Kihika if you want to be the Suluhu Hassan of Kenya you must veer away from cheap politics unless you are working for arap Mashamba who will never be president. Kihika was a known con man and you are following in his footsteps.

  16. tommyApr 27, 2021

    Even your Master DP Rooter is also holding political gatherings.Who met Kenyan artists last week ? Ama nyani haoni kundule ?

  17. WamariaApr 28, 2021

    Kihika is the most fake politician of all of them! Nonsense.

  18. WalidApr 28, 2021

    Look at this lunatic idiot attacking Uhuru for holding the Maasai meeting while he is wearing a musk!

    But the verbally diarrhearing fool does not say anything when her first, the second and the third husband the Ruto is holding some boyish village gathering on top of vehicles breathing down covid19 to the crowd!

    Susan, are stupid, blind, a dummy full of double standards or you are just a pure shithead? Wake up you idiot!

  19. JasiriApr 28, 2021

    No need for politics. Just follow the CDC guidelines. Wear a mask ,keep your distance, don’t stay in a crowded confined space for long. People can still meet hitherto safely. The Canadian PM broke protocol once so I see no African thing. India messed up by breaking the rules and so did Brazil. Things could be worse in Kenya. Some one once said it goes away with warm weather etc.
