Hussein Mohamed's recent appearance on #TheBigQuestion has sparked controversy. During the interview, Mohamed claimed that many Kenyans oppose the teachers' strike, which demands a pay hike, citing poor timing. He supported his remarks by reading pro-government tweets.
However, critics argue that Mohamed selectively presented tweets to justify his stance, ignoring the #PayTeachers hashtag that trended on Twitter throughout the day. This has raised questions about the methodology used to sieve through Twitter and obtain pro-government tweets.
Mohamed also emphasized the need for teachers to consider students who are about to take their national exams. Despite his efforts to justify the government's position, many remain unconvinced, arguing that teachers have suffered for too long and deserve to be paid.
