Yesterday, the picture of Embakasi West legislator George Theuri campaigning barefooted in the constituency emerged.
The picture which was meant to elicit sympathy and maybe, votes trended for the better part of today too.
Kenyans online shared their responses, some condemned the legislator for mocking the poor while others just came to know about him.
Though the responses weren’t favourable, knowing Theuri, he just wanted free publicity and he got it.
