Kenyans on Friday joined a global discussion on former South Africa President Jacob Zuma and former South Korea President Park Geun-hye who were both in court over corruption charges.
Netizens tagged President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto on the topics as they expressed despair that the same accountability was not likely for Kenyan leaders accused of corruption.
Here are some of the posts shared on the topics "Jacob Zuma" and "Park Geun-hye".
A tweet by Nairobi lawyer Donald Kipkorir attracted a similar nature of reactions as many of his followers shared their disappointment at the inconclusive corruption cases in Kenya.
Mr Kipkorir tweeted: "Life After Presidential Power: TODAY: 1. Pres. Lula de Silva of Brazil begins prison term of 12 Years. 2. Pres. Jacob Zuma Of South Africa is appearing in Court to be charged with 16 Counts Of Corruption. 3. Pres. Park Geun-hye Of South Korea is jailed for 24 Yrs for Corruption."
To which @chesoliprotus remarked: "Here in Kenya, no past leader or even the present will ever be prosecuted, watching closely, handshakes have rinsed away all their crimes."
