Chief Kariuki famously known for his Twitter timeline stream with his handle @Chiefkariuki is probably one of the best personalities any country will need in the world. Chief Kariuki uses his Twitter handle for community policing, neighborhood watch and crime-reporting activities for his people. He is timely in dispatching information to his people and a true leader I may say. He has been featured in CNN, Telegraph and Mashable websites for his good work.
As a local resident of Kajiado county, reaching your government representative is as hard as cracking a nut with your bare hands but if you were in Lanet, reaching your chief is as simple as posting a tweet and replies.These are the reasons why I say I rather have a chief like Kariuki than any of my county representatives.

Chief Kariuki’s Twiiter stream is lively. He talks of the most basic stuff to his people. He talks about lost donkeys and children bikes and puts up contact numbers on his Twitter posts to help his people. Through his tweets, most lost children have been found and most lost possessions have been reclaimed. He doesn’t have to post how he did this and that for his community but rather what he posts shows that he is actually doing it! But what of our county?

Last updated was on 9th March. Today is on 23rd March. Same as the crappy very slow website which is very dormant. Out Twitter handle is not even verified and all that it is on our timeline for 14 days is how the county launches a vaccination program.
My point exactly is not about our county using Twitter. My point is that we as the residents who voted the government representatives need transparency. We need an update on what job positions there may in the county? What tenders are offered? What plans and strategies there are in place and what the county government is there to offer for its citizens. We want to share our wails and ideas to our county government and I believe this is not achieved through static websites and dormant social platforms.
Due to how pissed I am that a Lanet chief can do much great than a governor, senator, MPs and MCAs combined I close my case, my graphics from our county social feeds is way past less a one man show, Mr Chief Kariuki. Now, given the chance, given a chief like Francis Kariuki, would you need any other government representative? Join the discussion!
