A section have congratulated the comedian while others felt that President Kenyatta need to consider certain criteria. Here’s what netizens had to say about Chipukizeey’s appointment;@Eric Chipukizzy who has zero talent, no tangible socio-economic achievements, no academic credentials to his name, no history of fighting drugs, has been appointed to sit in the NACADA board.
@oyoohabib Last time ilikuwa Jaguar, sai Chipu 😂 next time usishangae Githeri man akikuwa hapo.
@Abub Daud Well, if Jaguar was there, Chipukizzy can be there too. Githeriman was the preferred choice but is unwell.
@harissonmumia There's sometimes about these appointments that doesn't add up! Isn't there some criteria? Suitability? Vetting? Past experience?
@mathias Congratulations being a comedian doesn't mean you can't work elsewhere.
