        We’ev allowed Chinese to come and hawk in our streets till they treat us as street dwellers. Well, this was a lesson thanks to Kenyans on Tweeter and the Government swiftly responded 👍🏽

        He is lucky to be Chinese. If he was Kenyan he could have disappeared, permanently. Or "killed himself" while in custody. It's the new apartheid in Africa.

        The deportation was very swift. In less than 24 hours after the video surfaced, the man was swiftly deported. You can't disrespect us on our soil
