President Uhuru’s government is not taking chances with social media
and the blogosphere – an area it has dominated since romping to power –
with revelations that it has hired 36 ‘bloggers’ to manage its online
presence.
To deal with the opposition, the government has also hired 13 hackers.
The Jubilee government has lost much of the enthusiasm among young
people which peaked during the 2013 election and immediately after but
which has since dwindled as the stark reality of governance faces up
with pomposity of lofty campaign pledges.
Top blogger Joseph Githu has gone rogue of late with his continuous
faulting of the Uhuru regime non delivery of essential services to
Jubilee backyard.
The 36 bloggers are said to be working under an expanded digital unit
of the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU) and will work
under Blogger-In-Chief Dennis Itumbi.
They will all be operating from Office of the deputy president William Ruto and NOT STATEHOUSE.
With the hiring of the 36 bloggers it is expected that CORD Bloggers
will NOT be harassed by state agencies since the 36 can overrun the CORD
bloggers anytime.
The recruits will be joining the likes of Edith Wambui Fortune,
Thuku, Mastanga, Omosa, Wainaina, Opiyo, Kowar, Onyango Ogure among
others.
