Kenya's Trending Topics on February 21, 2018

Kenyans on Twitter on Wednesday engaged in heated discussions over the nomination of Wiper party Member of Parliament (MP) Ben Momanyi to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).

On the topic "Wiper", netizens called for the Kalonzo Musyoka-led party to be ousted from the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition.

The commentators were angered by the fact that the Wiper party candidate was endorsed by National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale while Speaker Justin Muturi instructed ODM to forward two names of their nominees.

Here are some of the comments that were shared.
