Former Cabinet Minister of Forestry and Wildlife Dr Noah Wekesa is under attack by Kenyans on Twitter over his remarks on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s future political career after 2022.

In a video shared by senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, Wekesa is heard saying that President Kenyatta will go nowhere after his term comes to an end in 2022.

Just like COTU boss Francis Atwoli, Wekesa says that President Kenyatta is too young to retire from politics.

He says the head of state will be 60 years in 2022.

According to him, he was a cabinet minister at 60 and at 83 years, he is still in active politics.

The former Kwanza Member of Parliament says that whether Kenyans like it or not, president Kenyatta will go nowhere after 2022.

“Uhuru will be 60 when he retires in 2022. That is a very young age. I was a cabinet minister when i was 60 and with 83 years, am still in politics. Mpende msipende Uhuru is going nowhere after 2022,” he remarks.

The remarks have angered Kenyans who have taken to social media to attack him.

Kicking off the debate, Ahmednasir while posting the video noted that people like Wekesa are the ones holding Kenya back.

“You ask yourself why Kenya is where it is today…the answer is… CHARLATANS like this 83 yrs old mzee calls the shots and shape our TRAJECTORY…very SAD,” he posted.

Kenyans were too quick to join him in trolling the ex-minister, with many expressing their disappointment in the 83 year old politician.

Some say Wekesa has done nothing to Kenya in his entire time in active politics.

From 2008 – 4th March 2013, Wekesa served as Member of Parliament for Kwanza constituency.

From 2005- 2007, he also served as Cabinet Minister of Science and Technology.

He also served as Cabinet Assistant Minister of Livestock and Fisheries between 2004 and 2005.

Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans.
