Kenyan Twitter Goes Ballistic As #TaxVoteKe Nears

Kenyans are feeling the pinch. A picture is worth 1000 words

Seems even those MPs who are opposed to something in parliament irregardless of their number,,,
The "I's" will always have it..

If a motion is meant to oppress the poor those in support the,"I's" will always have it even when the "NAYs" dominate. #TaxVoteKe
