President Uhuru Kenyatta and Nasa presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, have transferred their war of words to the cyberspace.

At all started on Friday, when President Kenyatta through his official Twitter handle accused Odinga of ‘destroying the country for his selfish gain.’

Stop destroying Kenya’s economy for your selfish gain, President Kenyatta tells Raila https://t.co/e9BUefgLUs http://pic.twitter.com/IJ3HYxZTwr

The president was referring to the street protests that Nasa has been mobilising over the last two week to force the removal of certain official of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

During Friday’s protests, incidents of looting and destruction of property were reported in some parts of the country.

However, President Kenyatta’s tweet stung Mr Odinga into a quick response in a series of tweets accusing the president for ‘growing corruption and looting.’

Banks are at their worst. Interest rates remain at choking levels, the only industries you’ve grown are corruption and looting. https://t.co/TtsOMB9E7g

Four years ago GOK was responsible for 35% of domestic debt borrowings, today it stands at 97%. Uhurunomics failed long ago!!!

Raila has done nothing wrong all he’s doing is asking for a job from Kenyans just as you but of course to score points you must mention RAO

That frustration shd be directed to the IEBC who bungled the election and led us into this quagmire.

The Kenyan economy was growing double Digits under the Coalition Govt And Kenyans were satisfied you’ve destroyed that in just 5 years.
