Kenyans on Twitter have trolled former PM Raila Odinga after he mocked DP Ruto. The former Premier posted on his Twitter account that nowadays theft of public resources is called HUSTLING.
The theft of public resources is now called hustling. The sacking of corrupt and incompetent individuals is now called targeting our people. Changing this pattern of events is not going to be easy. But it must and has to be done or we will have no nation to save. |FOPA BBI Forum pic.twitter.com/9BBMlJnjEY

It didn’t take long before the self-proclaimed Hustler number one answered the AU’s special Envoy that he’s bitter because sons and daughters of nobodies have made themselves rich.
Tinga, the privilege being VP's son is no license for you to insult hustlers.Kenyans hustling as bodabodas,hawkers,traders, small SME's, are NOT thieves but decent hard working citizens deserving RESPECT.

Kenyans are tired with everyday politics that are not helping our country. Political rallies that are cleansing dirty politicians and siphoning our taxes in jetting and running BBI rallies.
Kenyans on Twitter then took their anger to Raila’s comment section. Here are a few of the trolls that the People’s President received.
Your students are doing what you taught them to do if at all they were.

Raila was drumming for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) meeting that will today be held at Kinoru Stadium, Meru County. The forum is supposed to address issues of the Central Kenya people. The attendees will come from 11 Mt Kenya counties.
There is a video that has emerged online showing youths from Nyandarua county threatening to go back home after they were offered a meager Sh500. Some said that Governor Francis Kimemia had promised them more money.
Meru Mobilization….
Sentiments from inside the buses ferrying people
GENERAL TRANSLATION
" How can we be paid Shs. 500 to attend BBI. Turn the bus and take us back.
Governor Kimemia hates the people of Nyandarua…."
Very well…. pic.twitter.com/2zgjet7VQB

Kenyan Bulletin sources privy to the details say that the attendees had allegedly been promised between Sh3,000 and 5,000 per head.
Governors Martin Wambora, Kiraitu Murungi and Muthomi Njuki said that there are plans to disrupt the highly publicized meeting.
“We’re aware that there plans to hire hundreds of bodaboda riders in Tharaka-Nithi, Laikipia and Isiolo counties to storm the Saturday rally. The perpetrators should know that we are prepared to counter them,” Njuki said.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been implicated in the hiring of goons to cause chaos at the meeting that will be attended by Raila Odinga, among other leaders.
There has been unconfirmed reports that Kuria on Friday night gave 200 youths an unspecified amount of money and t-shirts to disrupt the Meru rally.
