Twitter was on fire yesterday after a list of contributions by notable politicians towards the funeral kitty of Fidel Odinga went viral.
The list that originated on Facebook showed that former Vice President and CORD leader Kalonzo Musyoka contributed only Sh25,000. For a man of his stature, this is very little money, also considering what other leaders had allegedly contributed.
Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.

Kalonzo contributed only 25K to Fidels burial. He's the type of person who eats a baby meal in a buffet so he can pay less.

When Kalonzo saw things were getting out of hand, he used the same medium to set the record straight. He said he contributed Sh200,000.
