Political commentator Cosmo Choy has sparked outrage after making controversial remarks targeting voters in Bungoma and Kirinyaga counties.
In a heated statement, Choy criticized residents for re-electing leaders previously linked to procurement controversies, including claims about inflated prices for public items such as a wheelbarrow and a Christmas tree.
His comments, however, went beyond criticism of leadership decisions and extended to insulting voters, prompting backlash online. Many Kenyans have condemned the use of abusive language against communities, arguing that political accountability should focus on policies, governance, and transparency rather than attacking entire groups of people.
The remarks have reignited debate about public spending, voter responsibility, and the tone of political discourse in the country. Leaders and citizens alike continue to call for more respectful engagement, even when addressing contentious issues.
