Kenyans were on Tuesday left divided after reports emerged that President Uhuru Kenyatta had barred Jubilee legislators from appearing in any TV and radio shows.
The report featured by The Star noted that the Head of State had declared that the lawmakers ought not to make public pronouncements without permission from the Party headquarters.
However, Kenyans on Twitter had divided opinion regarding the same with some supporting such a move while others strongly opposed such a move terming it harsh.
A section which applauded the order noted that "the lawmakers are often toxic in sharing their views" on national Television shows as well as radio programs.
Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans:
According to the report, county commissioners have been deployed to vernacular radio stations to articulate the government's development agenda in what is seen as "a strategy to boost coherence in government communication."
A Member of Parliament who spoke to the local daily noted that Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto warned Jubilee members against making appearances on live broadcast shows without the authority of the Presidency.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Kikuyu Member of Parliament Kimani Ichung'wa, however, dismissed claims that they have since received such an order.
He added that the President doe does not engage himself in such petty talks.
"Most of us (Jubilee) are no longer focusing on appearing on TVs as we are down to work. We are working on delivering our promises to our people," Mr Ichung'wa stated.
Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga highlighted that she is not aware of such an order issued by her party's administration.
"I am not aware of such an issue. As I have even seen some of my counterparts on shows," exclaimed Elijah Njoroge, Kiambu County Chief Whip.
