The news about the unknown whereabouts of Chinese billionaire Jack Ma spread around the world like wildfire and Kenyans also voiced their concerns. Jack Ma became Kenya's number one trending topic on Twitter after the global media reported the enterprenuer's disappearance. Nation columnist Gabriel Oguda criticised African countries for not speaking against the billionaire's disappearance. “If at all Jack Ma, a Chinese citizen’s undoing was to criticize his government, what of us who owe trillions?” he questioned. Cornel Mutui argued that even if he was a billionaire, Jack Ma was disadvantaged because individuals do not hold power over governments.
