Social Media: A Mirror to Politicians' Actions, Says Commentator
Nairobi, Kenya - A recent interview featuring a prominent commentator has highlighted the contentious relationship between Kenyan politicians and social media platforms. The speaker asserted that social media serves as a mirror, reflecting the true actions and character of public figures. He specifically referenced politicians such as Gathoni wa Muchomba and Edwin Sifuna, stating that the public discourse surrounding them on social media accurately represents their conduct. The commentator emphasized that if politicians engage in undesirable activities, these actions will inevitably be brought to light through social media. He suggested that rather than criticizing the platforms, political figures should focus on their own behavior. The discussion underscored the growing influence of social media in public accountability and its role in shaping public perception of political leaders.
