Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua has stirred widespread reactions online after issuing a lighthearted but pointed warning to William Ruto following reports that the Head of State was gifted 100 camels by elders from Wajir County.
Taking to his social media platforms, the senator posted a brief but attention-grabbing message: “Bora zisikaribie Kitui County!” loosely translating to “They should not come anywhere near Kitui County.” The remark, though widely interpreted as humorous, quickly went viral and drew a mix of amusement, criticism, and political interpretation from Kenyans online.
The unusual gift to President William Ruto has itself been a topic of public conversation, reflecting cultural practices in northern Kenya where camels symbolize wealth, respect, and honor. However, Senator Wambua’s comment added a new twist to the discussion, with some users praising his wit while others questioned the intent behind the statement.
Political observers note that such remarks, even when framed humorously, often reflect underlying regional dynamics and sensitivities. As reactions continue to pour in, the incident highlights how social media has become a powerful platform for leaders to engage the public—and occasionally ignite debate—over national issues.
