Twitter is asking where Kalonzo was during tear gas drama
Kenyans of Twitter are yet again on former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s case.
This is after photos of Cord principals Raila Odinga and Moses Wetangula fleeing after police used teargas to disperse their protest march at the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) offices went viral and none showed MrMusyoka at the scene.
I’m looking for similar pictures of Kalonzo. Was he at the IEBC offices today? pic.twitter.com/0ygb8lDLcC

Others noted with concern that photos showing Musyoka whereabouts after the fracas were missing.

Tweeps wondered why Mr Musyoka was only pictured before the fracas, but none after police had lobbed tear gas canisters at the protesters.

Kenyans soon started making fun of his absence, saying Mr Musyoka would never allow himself to be a victim of teargas.
RAO: Wase ehhh tunaenda kukula tear gas!
After a short silence…
Kalonzo: But si wewe ndio presidential flag bearer? Kula peke yako.

Attempts by Cord leaders and their supporters to storm the electoral commission offices were Monday violently disrupted by police.
The Opposition has said it has no confidence that the commission will deliver a free and fair election next year.
