No Way Mr. President! Kenyans Troll Uhuru Over The Message He Sent Vivian Cheruiyot

Alas! Were we in Zimbabwe, then most folks would have been sent to detention camps. How dare you embarrass the commander in chief?

The 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China has brought Kenya nothing but pure admiration and praise from all over the world. The last time I checked, we were still leading on the medal table; 4 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze.

Long-distance female athlete, Vivian Jepkemoi Cheruiyot, bagged Kenya its first gold when she outsprinted bitter rival, Gelete Burka, from Ethiopia to win the 10,000m race.

Her victory sparked celebrations here in Kenya, ordinary folks and leaders were quick to send her congratulatory messages.

President Uhuru Kenyatta also made sure his voice was heard. But he slipped with his congratulatory messages and boom! Kenyans put him on the spot!

“Congratulations Vivian Cheruiyot on bagging Kenya its first Gold Medal in the 10,000m women’s marathon.” Wrote Uhuru.

How I wish he hadn’t put the word ‘marathon’ in his statement. Anyhow, 10,000m race ISN’T a marathon.

A marathon is a long-distance running race strictly of 21KM (half marathon) and 42KM. Hope Mr. President gets this!

So guys were busy trolling Baba Ngina over his message with some asking him to explain in details how 10,000m race had graduated to being a marathon.
