@WhoseinMoulid said: "I'm so shocked to learn that 50% of all money collected from taxpayers goes to less than 2% of the #Kenyan population. Sad! #SOTN2017.”
@Wa_Nyaguthii: "The state of the nation address was perfect. I wish I was privileged to live in such a country. Unfortunately I live in Kenya. #SOTN2017.”
