Uhuru Kenyatta Tears CNN A New One #UhuruTellsCNN

This afternoon, the president owned Twitter thanks to the sternly worded tweets he sent out to CNN.

The media conglomerate got some clap back about a week shy of the GES summit for the ‘Hot Bed Of Terror Comment ‘and now the President of Kenya is giving them his two cents in a series of tweets.

Here is the series of tweets sent out:

You mischaracterized Kenya. You also angered Government&Kenyans with the ‘hotbed story’ #UhuruTellsCNN, EVP and MD Tonny Maddox @cnni #KOT.

We don’t expect to be showered with praise,we accept honest criticism.That is how we grow #UhuruTellsCNN EVP&MD Tonny Maddox @cnni #KOT.

I want to get on record that the people of Kenya are not happy with that kind of coverage #UhuruTellsCNN, EVP and MD Tonny Maddox @cnni

#KOT ‘Hotbed’ made Kenya look like it is the origin of terror,when the truth is we are not #UhuruTellsCNN, EVP&MD Tonny Maddox @cnni #KOT

The ‘hotbed’ story looked like an intentional attempt to render our efforts useless #UhuruTellsCNN, EVP&MD Tonny Maddox. @cnni #KOT

The timing of the ‘hotbed’ story was unfortunate.The world was focused on #MagicalKenya #UhuruTellsCNN EVP&MD Tonny Maddox.@cnni #KOT.

Our troops have played a key role in restoring stability in a neighbouring country and saved the world from terror #UhuruTellsCNN #KOT @cnni.

@cnni chose an office in Kenya because they find it comfortable&safe,your reporters should not say the opposite #UhuruTellsCNN #KOT.

Mr.Tonny Maddox as MD of @cnni what have you seen in Nairobi that makes Kenya a ‘hotbed’? Nairobi is like other cities #UhuruTellsCNN @cnni.

We accept factual,true and fair reporting. We encourage @cnni to pursue that kind of journalism. #UhuruTellsCNN #KOT @cnni.”
