The comment elicited mixed reactions with a section of netizens faulting the MP for belittling other people’s dreams.
“So illiterate of you to comment such on someone's ambition, do you think you own Embakasi East Constituency it will end in tiyaaas (sic)” wrote King Rony.
“You look scared, every other person can be an MP there. It's not limited to you, let him try his luck” quipped Japheth Kemeli.
@NimimiJosh urged the lawmaker to learn the power of silence, alluding to the fact that the flier could be misleading writing : “Jifunze kunyamaza not everything you see is true”.
