KEY POINTS

Kenya has an online army. It calls itself Kenyans on Twitter (KOT). Anyone can be a member of this army provided one has the guts to engage in anything and everything. The army is vicious, controversial, and hits without mercy. The weak cannot survive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is only in Kenya where a Standard 8 pupil will open a Twitter account and take on a lawyer or a doctor and argue about a subject for hours. It is here on Twitter where people who have no idea about something talk about and those with ideas talk about something else.

All in all, Twitter remains one of the most instrumental social media tools that even the government is scared of it. So, who are the most controversial tweeps in Kenya?

Love them or hate them, they set the agenda online that becomes the news across the county;

It’s good to have manners! https://t.co/lejNr0AnML

@ahmednasirlaw

Call him the Grand Mullah. He is a lawyer and businessman. The man is controversial and often says it as it is, especially when it comes to matters of politics. Most of his posts in politics are affiliated with Deputy President William Ruto although he often denies it.

@RobertAlai

Who doesn’t know Alai? He is a blogger, of late, a politician. He wants to be an MP for Nyando Constituency. His posts on politics are often controversial. He is vicious in his attacks and often cares less what people think. Sometimes he runs in trouble with the law.

@CisNyakundi

This is one of the most versatile bloggers Kenya will ever have. The government and many others have tried to bring him down but the man always finds his way back. He doesn’t give up easily and his posts cut like a double-edged sword.

@gabrieloguda

This man is the current king of irony and satire with his thrilling posts that when he talks about you, you laugh then load later to realize it was hurtful. He talks about issues in a witty way that cracks ribs but brings out the true meaning that mirrors society.

@AokoOtieno_

Her name is Maverick Aoko. Now, if this ain’t one of the most controversial women on Twitter, then dictionaries need to change the meaning. People say she is vulgar. They are right. She is vulgar. Says it as it is without fear. People fear her.

@paulinenjoroge

Pauline talks about politics, about Azimio, Raila Odinga, and others. Initially, she was against Raila Odinga before things changed and she started singing his praises. She is the one who started the blast against the Madoadoa sentiments of Mithika Linturi.

@OleItumbi

If you do not know Dennis Itumbi, then you have no business being in Kenya. The man is like a Tsumani in his own domain. He has figures that he often releases that make even the government tremble. He seems to have “sources” in every department.

@amerix

Amerix is another movement. People say the guy hates women. It might be true because, in most of his posts, the man is always bitter about women. He talks about masculinity and millions follow his conversations every Saturday. They love him.

@Asmali77

Asmali is a communicator. He is not that controversial but he is one man who is setting the pace in terms of creating conversations in the business world.
