The appointment of Comedian and media personality Vincent Mwasia Mutua popularly known as Chipukeezy to the National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA) board has elicited mixed reactions. 

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

Kenyans on Twitter have poured their voices on the subject, with many laughing off the Tuesday, June 5 move by Interior CS Fred Matiang'i. 

CS Matiang'i revealed through a gazette notice that Chipukeezy had been appointed to NACADA as a board member alongside Geroge Ogalo. 

The appointment made through Gazette Notice No. 5593 said: "In exercise of the powers conferred by section 6 (1) of the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse Act, the Cabinet Secretary, Interior and Co-ordination of National Government (Fred Matiang'i) appoints...Vincent Mwasia Mutua... George Ogalo...to be members of the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse Board, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 6th June 2018."

Here are key responses from KOT on the matter:

"So Chipukeezy is now a Board member at NACADA. Kenya is just but a scam. we play too much... even do we even really need this boards.?" @r4kaman expressed disgust.

@coolkenyankid noted: "Jaguar was a NACADA board member, chipukeezy was his PA. jaguar got elected chipu got elevated."

@Phil_MikeMwangi noted: "Chipukeezy appointed to the NACADA board? Can we get serious here? Its not comedy time, right?"

@Miss_Mwotei responded: "NACADA is just for jokers. First Jaguar now this fool Chipukeezy. Our country is heading to a laughable direction."

"I'm sure there's someone out there more deserving of that NACADA post they gave Chipukeezy, okay when we say we want more youth representatives, we really just want qualified people to get jobs and opportunities and not lame comedians or celebrities ffs," @itsnjerimwangi stated.

But others had a contrary stand
