Presidential Strategic Communications Unit apologizes to Donald Kipkorir after ‘slay queen’ remark goes viral

Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU) called Donald Kipkorir a ‘slay queen lawyer’. The PSCU was forced to eat the humble pie after Kipkorir threaten to take legal action.

Kenyans were taken aback when PSCU decided to abuse Donald Kipkorir. For starters, PSCU is the official communication channel of president Uhuru Kenyatta’s office.

The tweef between PSCU and Donald Kipkorir started when the lawyer called out Sonko and his deputy. Kipkorir blames Sonko for failing to stop hawkers and matatus from operating in the leafy Karen suburb.

“Your Excellencies Gov. @MikeSonko & Dep. Gov @IgathePolycarp , when we moved to Karen, we thought we were climbing up Maslow Hierarchy … But what are kiosks, matatus & mitumba clothes doing here? Where is our Masterplan? Kenya is a Capitalist State. Let Karen be Karen,” Donald Kipkorir tweeted.

PSCU quickly replied at Kipkorir’s tweet by taking a swipe at him. PSCU referred the flamboyant lawyer as a slay queen and socialite who didn’t have the capacity to engage Sonko or Igathe on any issue.

PSCU violated Chapter 6 Of our Constitution

Donald Kipkorir tagged DPP Keriako Tobiko and EACC’s Halakhe Wako in his reply to PSCU tweet on him. The lawyer says PSCU violated Chapter 6 Of the Constitution.

“Keriako Tobiko @ODPP_KE , Halakhe Wako @EACCKenya & @NziokaWaita … Demanding you take action against the person who in violation of Chapter 6 Of our Constitution & Public Officer Ethics Act used @PSCU_Digital to abuse me: abuse of office, corruption & denigrating Public office,” Donald Kipkorir tweeted.

We agree the tweet was inappropriate

PSCU apologized to Donald Kipkorir over the controversial tweet. They deleted the tweet from their timeline and said they were taking action against the person who tweeted it.

“We apologize for the tweet that appeared on our timeline. We agree it was inappropriate. It has been deleted. Thanks for pointing it out. Administrative action has been taken,” PSCU said.
