Kenya's Trending Topics on July 27, 2018

Kenyans on Friday initiated the hashtag #SomeoneTellMaraga following Chief Justice David Maraga's statement that condemned the reduction of the Judiciary budget.

Netizens seemed to imply that the CJ's complaint was unjustified with posts that asked him to consider the work done by the judiciary vis a vis the projects he claimed had been initiated and required funding to be completed.

CJ Maraga had stated that 70 judiciary projects, some of which are putting up courts countrywide, would stall after the budgetary allocation was slashed from Ksh17.3 Billion to Ksh14.5 Billion.

Here are some of the posts that were shared on the top trending Twitter hashtag.
