Martha Karua, Azimio la Umoja’s running mate, has been on a Twitter blocking rampage, so it appears that some Kenyans may have grated on her.
Twitter users with keen eyes saw that Martha had blocked a large number of followers from following her.
On the social messaging app, it has become such a hot topic that Martha Karua is now the most popular trending topic.
It’s interesting that several of the complainants claimed to have been blocked despite being her supporters.
Here are some of the comments:

Lord Abraham Mutai@ItsMutai: You can’t block me mama. What I did on your behalf is monumental… You can’t possibly do this. But well. We shall talk. In time.

KeeruH@Keerulanah: Martha Karua is On Twitter BLOCKING even those who Rooted for Her. She was your mother ..Right ?? By Tuesday she’ll only be Boniface Mwangi’s Mother . Assimio
John Chege@johnchege: She blocked me for a laughemoji on a trolling. ‘Deputy President -Designate’ is bitter!
But most Kenyans in the comments section chose violence and went for the jugular with the sentiment being that the former justice minister had blocked more people than the votes she had brought in during the recent general elections.
Evans Rutto Miloo@EvansMiloo254: Martha Karua delivered more blocks on twitter than she delivered the votes to azimio
F1 Novice@mwabilimwagodi: So far that Martha Karua account has blocked more people on twitter than the total number of votes she got in Kirinyaga County.
The former Justice Minister has been the top trend on Twitter today
Interestingly enough, Martha’s last major tweet on the platform before her blocking rampage was to complain about how Kenya Kwanza was obliterating the opposition.
“This is a deliberate & sustained offensive to decimate the opposition and return the country to a defacto one party state.”
Martha isn’t the first Kenyan politician to have a tough time on the Twitter streets especially with Kenyans on patrol.
Outgoing president Uhuru himself had to leave the bird network and complained that all he received from it was hateful comments from Kenyans.
