Kenyans were on Thursday engaged in various heated discussions on social media platforms centred around the various events of the day.
A particular photo of Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu kept popping up among the trends of the day and Kenyans created a viral meme out of it.
The photo depicted the Governor seemingly having a difficult time expressing himself to two Caucasians with his deputy Governor James Nyoro beside him distracted by his mobile phone.
Here are some of the hilarious captions that were shared.
Following the de-registration of the law degree certificate of Meru Senator Mithika Linturi, Kenyans revisited the Kiambu Governor's past woes with academic papers.
Governor Waititu earlier in the year won a case challenging the authenticity of his Economics degree from Punjab University.
The High Court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to meddle in the matter of the degree from India and the petitioner, former Governor William Kabogo, was ordered to pay the Sh5.3 Million legal fees for the suit.
Governor Waititu has since added another feather on his heart after he graduated with a Masters in Business Administration from the Kenya Methodist University (KeMU) in October.
Here are some more comments that were shared on Governor Waititu's trending photo.
Senator Linturi's degree was on Thursday revoked by the University of Nairobi on grounds that the politician forged documents that gained him admission into the institution.

This phrase topped Twitter trends on Thursday after the parents of the two brothers arrested in connection with the Sh50 Million bank heist in Thika spoke out on the crime their sons had been accused of.

On the other hand, the father of the men blamed unemployment in the country for his sons' alleged actions.
The suspects were arraigned in court on Thursday and were later released on a bond of Sh4 Million each after being charged with the theft of Sh52.65 Million as well as handling stolen property.
