Starehe MP Charles Njagua alias Jaguar is fast learning that Kenyan Twitter is not for the faint-hearted.
No sooner had the singer-turned-politician engaged in an online ‘tweef’ with rapper Octopizzo than he picked a new one with former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale.
It started when the ‘bullfighter’ posted a tweet about the dismal number of votes President Uhuru Kenyatta attained from Kakamega County in the repeat election.
According to Boni, the voter turnout in Kakamega was 5.4%.
“I warned @WilliamsRuto that the brokers he was relying on speak only for themselves. Kakamega has 746,800 voters!” He tweeted.

Jaguar hit back, pointing out how Khalwale failed to get votes when he vied for the Kakamega gubernatorial seat.
“He should have used u to get the rest of the votes the same way u got them to be the Kakamega Governer,” Jaguar teased.

This prompted Khalwale to bring out his bullfighter horns as he hit back at Jaguar with a savage reply.
