Prof. Sam Ongeri Condemns Alai Immediately After Joining Twitter

Last week, Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Ongeri joined Twitter and it seems he has already become accustomed to the way things are run on the micro-blogging site. Well, Ongeri is already ruffling shoulders here and there. His first victim? None other than controversial tech blogger, Robert Alai.

So, it happened that Alai had tweeted alleging that the DPM and TNA’s presidential candidate, Uhuru Kenyatta was “buying” loyalty in Kisumu by sending people to clear bar bills for customers in leading joints at the Lakeside town. Take a look;
“Listening to confessions on how Uhuru through Onyango Oloo is buying loyality in Kisumu.”

Then followed this one;
TNA has been regularly sending agents to pay bills of patrons in bars/pubs like Tummies and Signature.”

The irate professor could not take this lying down, so he retaliated with this sullen tweet;

“Funny enough that we wan’t unity in kenya but some bloggers spreading propaganda that a presidential candidate is buying loyalty , Very bad”

This is the second time the minister is involved in a Twitter outburst, the very first coming last week on Friday where he castigated the Kenyan Online Community for referring to MPs as MPigs. The Nyaribari Masaba legislature, was not amused by the name and said that it was unfair for Kenyans to refer to their leaders as such. Here is the tweet;
“#KOT I still insist Its unfair to call leaders Mpigs ! Leaders and Citizens must relate well to have a peaceful nation ,happy Sabbath”
And then this followed yesterday morning;
“My humble message to all #KOT #RespectLeadersNow Because Its God Who chose them to lead , Ill talk does not reward . Good day”

Do you think the professor will engage in tweefs like other KOT? You can follow him on Twitter @ProfOngeri.
