But its regrettable to waste all these knowledge on secession papers n 'Republic of Lakeside Kenya' while the likes of Gerishon Ikiara, Mutua Kilaka n others are drafting global economic papers for world Bank n IMF. Just who bewitched you.— Brigadier General (@BrigadierBrigad) February 23, 2018
Why threaten your followers. I think it's their right to give their opinions on what they think about you. It's also ua right to block them

Sir David, I am trying to give a civic education lesson i.e. that constitutional rights are/ought to be as sacrosanct as religion.— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) February 23, 2018
David you must have a thicker skin! You're a "public intellectual". The Kenyan Public will test your intellect. Blocking is bad Economics!— Joyce bube (@Joyce10079327) February 23, 2018
? see you still retain alot of your victorian economics as the main anchor of your approach but i believe you may be aware that economics has evolved with alot of cultural flavors far away from hard theories

You're just like those people you always criticize if you can't accept criticism for what you tweet. Those people are just exercising their freedom of expression.
