Award-winning Kenyan photojournalist and rights activist Boniface Mwangi has come under a heated attack from Kenyans after his earlier wars with Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen.
Kenyans took to Twitter to launch their war on Mwangi for being disrespectful after he posted strong accusations against Murkomen.
In a tweet, Mwangi hit out at Murkomen accusing him of being a thief.
"YOU ARE A THIEF! YOU STOLE NYS MONEY! WHY WOULD I ENVY A THIEF? You have nothing for me to envy. l don't have....and zero ambition to be a thief. You are right, l have no capacity to engage a thief and.... You are too crass for my class!" Mwangi tweeted.
His tweet elicited a lot of reactiom with many user attacking the activist for using disrespectful words against the senator.
"You really should not go around insulting those who take an opposing viewpoint in public debate. Abuse is no argument. Civility in public discourse is a great and worthwhile ideal," said Donald Mogeni.
"It is Unfortunate that young people are not disciplined, they insult our leaders who have been elected, you can't go far with this kind of bad attitude of disrespect. There are right channels provided to report corruption not social Media," wrote Caxton Njenga Kahiga.
"Boniface Mwangi don't be bitter because its so high for you, whatever @kipmurkomen has achieved you can just dream, know your space," said Martin Mutuma.
"It's not needed it's maturity we lack no need for vile language, boni is a lost kid who's looking for attention probably deportation," said Amosuk.
"You are indeed blessed bro. Bony must know that you are elected by people a second time when he still sits on the road to attract attention," said Arden Muller.
