Sina maoni: Uasin Gishu mans response to Citizen TV reporter cracks up Kenyans online

Every election cycle in Kenya brings with it its fairs share of personalities that emerge out of the blues into the limelight, either because of what they do or what they say.

The other election cycle witnessed the rise of Martin Kamotho, popularly known as the Githeri man, who went viral merely for carrying his breakfast to the voting queue in 2017.

The ongoing 2022 poll has also seen the emergence of a few unconventional personalities, among them a man who showed up to the polling station bare-chested, with a towel over his waist and a tooth brush on his mouth.

At another polling station, a woman was caught carrying a teddy bear, in order to give the impression that she had a baby hence should, presumably, be allowed to skip the line.

Elsewhere still, sensational comedian Arap Marindich showed up at a polling station with his 'rally driver' gear and a dusty face as seen in his memes.

However, amidst all these, there is one other man who has cracked the ribs of Kenyans online with his honesty.

The man, who is yet to be identified, made a brief appearance on Citizen TV during the first day of the 2022 General Election.

While reporting from Uasin Gishu County at around 5am on Tuesday, Citizen TV’s Chemutai Goin sought the opinion of area residents on whether they felt security had been boosted to their satisfaction and if they felt the election was going to be free and fair.

“Kuna watu ambao walikuwa na hisia tofauti kuhusu labda usalama ikiwa umeimarishwa, ikiwa uchaguzi huu utakuwa huru na haki, je wewe kama mpiga kura ambaye umefika tayari kupiga kura, maoni yako ni yepi?” Posed Goin.

She then approached one of the residents on the line who calmly responded saying: “Kulingana na mimi, sina maoni. Sina maoni kabisa.”

The man’s shy response, which cracked up a fellow voter behind him in line, has since elicited a multitude of responses online, among them:
