Moments after the collapse of Sh1.2 billion Sigiri bridge in Budalangi, Busia county, a section of Kenyans took on social media to attack Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba.
Namwamba who ditched ODM party and joined the Labour Party of Kenya (LPK) which is supporting re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta, has been praising Jubilee government for constructing the bridge.
The former ODM secretary general has in many occasions used the Sigiri bridge project as one of his reasons to dump Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
With the collapse of the bridge, a section of Kenyans on Twitter (KoT) users are yet to see if he will go back to his former party or stick to his current stand.
Below are some reactions from KoT users who attacked the Budalangi legislator.
