Kenyans were on Thursday engaged in various heated discussions concerning a myriad of topics that topped Twitter trends for the day.
The subject "Deputy Governor" was one of the trending topics as business enthusiasts discussed the postponed retirement of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) deputy governor Sheila M'mbijiwe.
CBK governor Patrick Njoroge gazetted that she would continue working with the bank despite having attained retirement age until her contract is terminated, an allowance guaranteed by the law.
Here are some posts that were shared.
"Retirement age is 60 in public service. However, one can work on contract with approval of the board and cabinet secretary after 60 if they have specialised scarce skills," former Public Service Commission chairperson Margaret Kobia explained in February 2017.
The topic also trended as members of the public continued to discuss the invitation by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to nominate a candidate for the vacant deputy governor's position.
Since Governor Sonko made the announcement, nominated Senator Millicent Omanga who was on the list has declined the offer.
Former Starehe Member of Parliament (MP) Bishop Margaret Wanjiru also divulged that she had previously struck a deal with the Governor for the post.
Here are some of the posts that were shared.
Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Sicily Kariuki trended on Thursday after Majority Leader Aden Duale announced that the impeachment motion against her had been withdrawn.
"We have agreed this morning that the matters raised by our colleagues can be resolved internally and we have given the leadership in and out of the house the opportunity to resolve those matters," the majority leader stated.
Here are some of the comments that were shared.
Kenyatta National Hospital
The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) topped the Google trending topics of the day as Kenyans conducted over 2,000 searches of the topic on the search engine.
The hospital was on the spot once again after news broke of another botched surgery that was conducted at the facility.
A woman who underwent a cesarian section at the hospital allegedly lost part of her large intestine and only found out the surgery had gone wrong after unbearable pain in her abdomen area.
