Uhuru Loses His Cool over UK Flowers Gift, Asks Kenyans Online to Stop Posting ‘Nonsense’

President Kenyatta has told off Kenyans criticizing the government over its decision to gift flowers to UK healthcare workers amid the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Uhuru, in his Labor Day speech on Friday, May 1st, said the move was a way of marketing Kenya’s flower industry, which has been adversely affected by the Covid-19 global crisis.

“Hayo maua tumetuma, corona itaisha na watakumbuka soko ikifunguliwa, watanunua maua ya wale waliwakumbuka wakati wa shida,” said Uhuru.
(This flowers will remind the UK that we stood with them during Covid-19 pandemic and when the crisis ends, they will buy our flowers)

A seemingly infuriated Uhuru further asked Kenyans to “think before posing nonsense on social media.”

“Coronavirus will not be with us forever, this is the time to think of how we shall revive our economy, it’s very important to see ahead, we must think of ways to revive our economy,” he noted.

“Think before you start talking nonsense on this social media of yours. This is not the time for us as Kenyans to be petty, this is not the time for us to be cheap, this is the time for us to plan the future.”

A Kenya Airways flight carrying 300 bouquets of roses left the country on Friday night and arrived in London on Saturday, April 25th. 

The flowers were received in London by Flamingo Limited UK and have been distributed to Covid-19 frontline workers including doctors, nurses as well as recovering patients in a campaign dubbed ‘Flowers for Hope.’

The initiative was launched by a committee constituted by President Kenyatta and chaired by Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i.

It brings together the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, Kenya Association of Manufacturers, Kenya Airways, and the Kenya Flower Council. The UK is one of Kenya's largest floriculture market.

I thought you are talking about Ruto getting a heart attack and dying! He is the one who is very sick! He has even been calling Kenei ghosts from the under world to apologize to him for eliminating him! Beware of Ruto’s current misery! It may spill over to you too.

The joke is you for being a lunatic! You are just one mad creature farting in a Kambi Kuku market in Sugoi as you steal chicken belonging to your own folks. Your laugh is that of a lame donkey crying hiho hiho hiiiii!

This one ☝️ is a very mentally sick man. Didn’t your own wife dessert you for being a nincompoop and a dummy? She said you are a foolish man; and yet you are here insulting your dummy self!

We don't owe anybody flowers Corona or no Corona. We don't have to bribe anybody with our flowers in order to do business with us. That's corruption. The money we spent on those feel good flower errands would have been better used by helping wananchi- the once Boilling stones to deceive their children into believing that food is cooking until they fall asleep. You are telling us that the coronavirus donated money will be audited to the last coin and that we shouldn't concern ourselves with making views on social media. For one, we wouldn't hold our breath waiting for what obviously will be a manipulated auditing to camouflage corruption and if am wrong, tell us what happened to Euro board billions? We don't want to wait for your mikmouse baloney auditing for coronavirus donated money, we want you to tell us how 4 million shillings could be spent on mandazi and chai within about a month by you and your minions. You and Raila are Kenya's headache and wananchi can't wait to throw you out of our way come 2022. Raila stole your presidency in broad daylight and instead of standing up like a man and using the powers bestowed to you by our constitution, you took him in, and now you use Ruto and wananchi to let off steam - Are you crazy or what? Soon you will be drinking alone in a hut in Gatundu- we are tired of babysitting you.

You sound very inebriated with a cup of Lysol mixed with dodo-vodoo concoction!

You can book an appointment with your psychiatrist and take Ruto along with you for some brain surgery! Quite literally!!

Mukundi Wanjohi Jim Beam allowed Mutahi Kagwe to use our corona money on Mandazi while a woman in coast was boiling stones for supper.

@Mwindani, have several seats. It is our money. We have earned it. We pay taxes. The money they got from World Bank we will repay it with our hard earned money plus interest. Wanjohi Mukundi Beam Jim should not let Mutahi Kagwe spend out money on Mandazi, airtime and other kind of nonsense.

Mr.President,quarantine and curfew has woken up Kenyans,Africans and the black man on the four corners of the earth.It has also revealed our enemies and life will never be the same.You are sending flowers to those colonizers who maimed, raped, and killed our forefathers ( Remember the days of old- those days are here).After Covid-19,the black man does not want used clothes from foreigners who have died of Covid-19; does not care for food from enemies that may even contain poison; does not care for "so called experts" in any field-we can educate our own;does not care for any more loans from foreign governments and foreign banks; does not care for foreign fake doctors; foreign grants, donations or gifts or any other kind of "help" Kenyans do not want embassies in enemy nations, no more tourism, no more investors. We do not want development engineered by our enemies or colonizers. No more infrastructure by foreigners- Our young can do it. All foreign "help", grants, donations have been the basis of us being defenseless when they call us "Shit-hole",Monkeys, graveyard and all other derogatory words; when they kill or disable our people with poisoners vaccinations.
Africans want change.They want unity that is based on spirituality that does not involve foreigners. The age of fire and sword is almost behind us. We are slowly entering the age of water and spirituality. Join the black man, Mr President or you and yours will be left behind. Pharaoh's system around the world cannot survive. It's done. Pharaoh- let my people go!! until every knee bows and every tongue confess to the real God, we will be all on a rollercoaster of events making the world like God intended!!!

Those flowers came from the farms the Kenyatta family owns. He is only looking out for his own best interest and NOT for Kenyans. Ukweli inauma...well guess what Uhuru? Wakenya wanaumia zaidi from your corrupt dynasty

The typical Kenyan wh has not learned any project management are up in arms about tea . wtf do you think all the teams mobilized to keep Kenya safe of Covid 19 are surviving on . siasa za peni mbili . You need to get the facts right before all of you uneducated fools scream wolf ! Do you think it even takes 4 million to mobilize, manage such a team countryswide? , what , yes 4m can cost on meals since March 13th. Bure stupid kenyans always midomo kubwa. Yes Uhuru is right shut the fuck up if you do not know what it takes to carry out such a "project" and keep you niggas safe when 99% of you are so freaking lack discipline and Mutahi has to beg you to do the most important thing wash hands, hamjui you need to wash hands ? So you question printing of posters and feeding those plastering those posters in every hood coz y'all can'think of yourself to follow simple rules including finding panya routes spreading the disease. When you all start falling down like ticks, 4 million on tea and mandazi will not be your worry. Y'all learn to get facts straight , learn a little about budgeting etc before y'all show your freaking ignorance

@Sang, Dodi, Totaline @ Vivian a.k.a my Anastasia(Fifty shades of Grey, I am Grey) stay on topic or shut your lubbish oh meant rubbish. You seem to be getting some handout from your boss. How do you expect the recently appointed Michuki's daughter to market tea to wazungu or anyone with her stone face look! The idea is to have her sit on Downing street surrounded with flowers hoping for a buyer! Step on my foot, will step on yours! Fair game

To all who commented here,
I agree with the person who said that most Acricans are DAFT.Yes, may be me included.
There is an elected government in Kenya headed by H.E Uhuru who is deputised by H.E William. There are other people like CSs, Heads of Departments, Governors, Legislators, Judicialy and other leaders. You should respect them as what they are. Should there be something you feel its not right, there is always a diplomatic/constitutional way of airing your grievances other than insults. Shame on you and me too for going against a presidential humble request not to post "nonesense"God bless Kenyans... the RICH and the POOR included.
