Netizens Fry Itumbi After Boasting Over His Head of State Commendation

Today wasn’t a good day for one State House Secretary of Digital Communication Dennis Itumbi after netizens decided to take a war on him.

This forced the vocal blogger to defend his Head of State Commendation which appears to have angered a section of Kenyans online.

It all started when a netizen going by the name Gabriel Oguda took to Twitter to vent on why the government is yet to honour Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge for retaining his London Marathon title for a record fourth win – with the highest honuor.

For example, he said, Mr Kipchoge is more deserving of a State Commendation than the likes of Githeri man, Blogger Robert Alai, Mr Itumbi and Citizen TV News Anchor Jacque Maribe, who were among the recipients of a state commendation last year.

Although Kipchoge has a Head of State Commendation (HSC) award given to him in 2006, it appears some Kenyans, like Oguda, want him to have the highest award of Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart (EGH).

Telling lies requires you get your FACTS right first. Eliud kipchoge holds an OGW and a CBS medal. I am among those who believe he deserves an EGH. By the way as per by law established you can help nominate him to the awards… & yes I hold an HSC. I appreciate the commendation,” replied Itumbi.

His response however only elicited the wrath of Kenyans on Twitter who came in droves to give him a tongue lashing.
