Here are today's trending topics.
Professor PLO Lumumba on Friday morning sparked discussions on Twitter after making some scathing remarks on Kenyan politicians during a panel discussion on NTV's AM Live show.
Prof. Lumumba started off by accusing Kenyan politicians of deceiving themselves into thinking that the country is in desperate need and only they have the power to help.
"Kenyan politicians suffer from the Messiah complex; they believe they were sent to save us," Prof. Lumumba asserted.
He proceeded to convey that they are all "so selfish, opinionated, arrogant that they think we (Kenyans) are dunderheads".
Social media users went on to express their views on the sentiments with many of them agreeing with the former Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) boss.
