The Government Embarrasses Its Own Employee, Dennis Itumbi (Photos)

The latest Al Shabaab attack on a police convey in Garissa has sparked an interesting conversation on social media after the government issued two contradictory statements regarding the same.

While one arm of the government has come out to deny claims Al Shabaab killed cops on Yumbis attack, the other one-read,the Digital One-went on to send condolences to the families of the slain police officers.

Interior Ministry tweeted denying claims Al Shabaab had killed police officers. The Ministry says no officer had been downed by the terrorists confirming only a single cop had been flown to Nairobi for further treatment.

However,The Director of Digital Communication in the Office of the President, Dennis Itumbi, was rather fast to condole with victims of the grisly attack.

Itumbi,who runs the PSCU Kenya Digital Twitter handle,jumped on the handle to salute the fallen police officers for their bravery who he said died protecting the country.

Realizing he had made a blunder with his tweet, Itumbi quickly rushed back to social media to rectify the mistake but unfortunately the damage had already been done.

Kenyans had a field day roasting the Government Spanner boy…But obviously Itumbi is not really a stranger to Social Media blunders. I bet he took it all in his stride…
