Uhuru asked for questions from Kenyans and this is what he got
When President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed Kenyans to engage him on his action plan via Facebook, there was always going to be no shortage of questions from both his fans and haters.
The president lived up to his word by fielding questions from citizens in this unprecedented virtual interaction that was aired live on two national television stations on Sunday morning.
But long before the president went live on Facebook, the questions were flowing thick and fast from Kenyans who seized the rare opportunity to engage their president one-on-one.

In their typical element, on Twitter, Kenyans didn’t need a second invitation to shoot questions straight at the head of state.
While some of the questions were on real concerns about governance, poverty, unemployment, wealth creation and development, other questions were downright ridiculous.
Sample of a few of them below:
So the President skips the public debate then summons Kenyans for a facebook lecture. I see #chatwithuhuru as #uhurulecture #nyongomanifesto
