On Wednesday, president Uhuru Kenyatta hosted the FBI dance crew at Statehouse in the ongoing voter mobilization campaign.
The president also met with gospel singer Rufftone and radio presenter Mbusii.
In the meet up with the entertainers, the Head of State got to dance with FBI to the ‘Bamba kura yako’ tune aimed at urging youths to register as voters.
Watch
However, the dance attracted more criticism than praise as Kenyans on social media expressed their disappointment with the president’s actions while the country is in disarray.
On twitter, the hashtag Dab of Shame was trending yesterday.
We have sampled some reactions:
No time to honour dead Kenyan soldiers but all time to dab with clueless artists #DabOfShame

#DabOfShame is about an insensitive, incompetent, pretentious President with poor PR stunts in a collapsing country. It’s a protest!
