Kenya's Trending Topics on April 19, 2018

Kenyans were on Thursday engaged in heated discussions over the top trending topics of the day including a guest who appeared on Jeff Koinange's JKL talk show.

Tony Gachoka, who was the main act for the Wednesday night show, impressed a few viewers who took to Twitter to convey their compliments.

Mr Gachoka's assertions also elicited strong reactions from members of the public who insisted that he was promoting the agenda of anti-DP William Ruto elites.

Here are some of the comments that were shared on the topic "Tony Gachoka".

Political analyst Benji Ndolo was among those who shared discontent at Gachoka's claims, arguing that the former Raila Odinga ally was misguided.

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Mr Ndolo explained that his disagreement with Gachoka's views was based on his philosophy on the method of politics.

"Gachoka promotes an archaic way of thinking about politics which is based on tribes and personalities. He seems to be promoting the Raila way of politics that mainly involves gimmicks.

"Calling for the creation of a Prime Minister's position goes against the very fabric on which our Constitution was knit. Kenyans advocated for the purely presidential system," Ndolo explained.
