Maina Kageni vs Juliani: Who carries the day?

The media is rife with stories that people are not going to work because they are awaiting results, and the economy is suffering for it. Following the historic elections on Monday, Nairobi was virtually a ghost town save for a few restaurants that were open to cater to patrons that chose to come to town.

Maina Kageni decided to take a swipe at this phenomena by asking on his Facebook page ‘Today Mwalimu and I are shocked! Kwani hamuendi kazini? Hata traffic iko nyweee mteremko. Why are you still at home?? Aki mutafutwa kazi nyinyi… seriously! Kwani what excuse do you have? You voted on Monday and today is Wednesday. Na hakuna noma mahali. So why are you not at work??
Talk to me!” Maina clearly knows what he’s talking about, read about how he makes his miilions.

Have you guys gone to work? If not, what are you doing at home and bills don’t sort themselves out?

Meanwhile Juliani is of a different opinion altogether. His stance on this matter was summarized by tweets like “dismissn others concerns eti lets go 2 work biz as usual after march 4th, I didn’t want things 2 remain the same thats y I went out 2 vote,” and “U say “i don’t care who bcomes prezo, want 2 go bck 2 work, what of the majority o Kenyans who have no work 2 go 2.”

He however explained that he’s not advocating for people to abscond work, just that in his opinion the people who are home are being ‘vigilant’ owing to concerns they may have about the election results. He threw a spanner in the works by saying that a lot of guys are unemployed altogether. Juliani was part of an initiative where seven artists spent the whole night in an effort to capture PEV stories in song.

Kind reminder guys, IEBC has upto seven days to anounce results, as provided for in the constitution. Go back to work!
