National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale differed with flamboyant city lawyer Donald Kipkorir on Twitter after the latter claimed that the Somalis are less than 300,000 but they have achieved a lot in different areas.
The renowned lawyer took to social media to share his ideologies with netizens.
He noted that the community has remained united over years, and urged others to emulate the same.
“Somalis are less than 300,000 but belong to all Political Parties & have own Parties BUT never allow Political differences to come between their Faith, Friendships, Business & Lobbying for Big Offices. Like Qatar, Somalis punch above their weight... Other tribes need learning…” Wrote Kipkorir.
The comment, however, did not augur well with Duale, Garissa Township MP.
He reminded the lawyer that there are more than 3 million Somalis.
He further accused the lawyer of gossiping on issues he does not understand very well.
"Wakili, Somalis are over 3m spread across the country occupy 3 counties, historically occupied critical positions in government, legislature and private sector, contribute to the economy.
To wrap it all they occupy more than 65%of the Horn of Africa .bure Kabisa .fitina," posted Duale.
The users of social media also commented on the tweet.
