Cheap Clout:Netizens were furious by Kenyans who showed up at polling stations to gain media attention.

Netizens were outraged by the cheap clout of Kenyans who showed up at polling sites to garner media attention.

Kenyans turned out in force on August 9th to cast their ballots. After doing so in 2017, it has been five years.

As is traditional.

There are one, two, or three people who arrive with various intentions. To act amusingly in order to attract the attention of the media.

In the general election of 2017. ‘Githeriman’ drew media notice by appearing on the que eating Githeri and holding a nylon paper bag.

He was later awarded governmental recognition, and she was invited to meet outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Despite this, he has received endorsements from a number of companies..

In the recently completed general elections. It was a carbon copy of the last elections. Voters came up with creative tactics to get people’s attention.

A middle-aged man arrived in Kisumu wearing only a towel. Claiming to have just rushed out of the shower to vote.

Several people did the same, with one showing up with a 700 gramme loaf of bread. Exactly like the “Githeriman” 2017 scenario.

Some amusing scenarios were captioned as well, which drew harsh feedback from netizens. It’s referred to as “cheap clout.”
