President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday disclosed the reason why he left micro-blogging siter Twitter, after he deactivated his social media accounts back in March 2019. According to the head of state, Twitter had nothing constructive to offer him and instead all he ever got was daily insults prompting him to opt out of the popular social media platform. Amid growing speculation, State House chief of staff Nzioka Waita sent a tweet saying that the President’s accounts had been deactivated. It was not the first time that social media accounts associated with the president and State House were deactivated. In July 2018, two Twitter accounts, @PresidentKE and @PSCU_Digital, were pulled down over hacking allegations.
