The penchant of Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) for harsh attacks on just about everybody and anything is the reason why President Uhuru Kenyatta deactivated his personal account.
On Wednesday, President Kenyatta revealed that he found himself pre-occupied with negative comments on his Twitter posts, spending an awful amount of time trying to understand why KOT were always harsh.
However, after much reflection, Uhuru said that it dawned on him that he was better off dwelling on constructive activities like strengthening family bonds than wasting time on Twitter.
