On July 19, 2019, Kenyans on Twitter went into overdrive, criticizing politician Joyce Lay for requesting free logo designs for her foundation and two other companies.

Her request, which included no brief or budget, sparked outrage, with many questioning the value of intellectual labor.

One Twitter user pointed out, 'No brief. No budget. The only criteria is getting the most RTs For intellectual labour. Parliament and its sitting allowances does do a thing on the mind.'

Twitter users responded with a barrage of sarcastic posts, some of which were crude plays on her name.

Here are some of the savage logos lampooning her call for action.
