Another noted: "After walking and being teargassed, to his car marooned and pelted with stones, baba can land on top of my roof for all I care."
Others were of the opinion that President Uhuru Kenyatta should borrow a leaf from Raila as this would reduce traffic in the city.
"And that is what President Uhuru Kenyatta should be doing in order to stop interfering with people's day to day activities by creating unnecessary traffic jams. Let he be using a helicopter to be landing directly to the place he is having function," one Kenyan recommended.
