Kidero, Kirubi on chopping board for asking to meet Mya
Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and industrialist Chris Kirubi were savagely attacked on Twitter after they scrummed to land a ‘date’ with American singer, Mya, who is in town for The Plot bash on Saturday.
The two separately sent out toe-curling tweets to Jeff Koinange when he interviewed the sassy entertainer on his show JKL, asking him to deliver her for separate meetings.
While Mr Kidero was asking for an official meeting (it had actually been planned already), Mr Kirubi, or DJ CK as he is known socially, was angling for a date.
It all started when Mya said she would date a Kenyan man, on this one condition.

So DJ CK jumped at the chance.
My brother @KoinangeJeff we can take @MISSMYA to my farm and cook for her nyama on the shores of Lake Kirubi #jkl

He then, perhaps, remembered he hadn’t attached pictorial evidence.
There you go @MISSMYA. You are invited to Lake Kirubi in Thika. Please leave @KoinangeJeff behind #MyaInKenya #JKL pic.twitter.com/u5XRn8bUJl

And a phone call to JKL.

Not to be outdone, Governor Kidero, who is to meet Mya, Ginuwine and 112 later on Friday, jumped onto the wagon. He later realized it was a mistake and deleted the tweet, although someone had already taken a screenshot.
Someone even conducted an opinion poll on Twitter.
What do you make of @KideroEvans & @CKirubi publicly begging to meet with #MyaInKenya #JKL @KTNKenya

Then the trolls became ungovernable.
If Kidero was able to make grass grow for the Pope in 3dys I guess cooking maji imekarangwa for @MISSMYA aint an issue #MyaInKenya

One thought Dr Kidero’s invite was dishonor to Kenyans.
Kidero invitation of #Missmaya to city hall is a dishonour to Kenyan artists.@MCSK_Care .#BuyKenyaJengaKenya. #KideroMustGo @KoinangeJeff
