Kenya has been the mighty among the countries of East Africa. Most citizens dreamt of coming to this country just because Kenya was a dreamland but now remains a nation of shame.
However, recent reports show otherwise with neighboring coubtries openly mocking and ridiculing Kenya. Taking kenya to be the laughing stock of the region due to poor governance. This they did through their online social media accounts.
Netizens from Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda have grown the audacity to laugh at the once mighty Kenya. They took any slight issue to ridicule. When did Kenya become the nation of shame?

Bad policies, poor governance floods, blackouts, increased taxation have all been weapons that neighbours have used. Our degrading economy boosting their confidence to not even see us as equals, but feel they are now above Kenya.
For the last three months, Kenya has experienced a nationwide blackout that saw Jomo Kenyatta International airport, the mighty among all the East African airports plunge into darkness.
Neighbours seized this opportunity to throw jab at Kenya. Something they haven’t done over the years. With one saying that with good English, we can’t afford food, we got no electricity, just english and vibes.

Ugandans even with all the dictatorship at their door and economic hardships that they have endured through the years have the strength to call Kenya out now on governance. The audacity.
The reports of a leaking JKIA roof hit the news and after Ugandans got a grasp of it, it became a weapon to them. Uganda Civil Aviation Authority in what seemed as sarcasm released a statement telling their citizens not to worry, it’s that of a neighboring country (kenya).
This trend has angered most kenyans with some claiming we have hit the lows of the low if these countries are now laughing at us. Countries that over the years have held us to high regard.
