The Council of Governors' Twitter page made headlines on August 5, 2019, after retweeting a series of explicit messages from vlogger Taruri Gatere.
The messages, which were exchanged between Gatere and a Jamaican tweep, were as explicit as they were shocking.
"Say my name. Moan. Tell me how it feels. Tell me what you like. Tell me how much you like it. Ask me questions I can't answer because I'm too into it. Look into my eyes and smile and say hi," read the messages that were retweeted.
However, the council quickly realized their mistake and issued an apology, stating that they had temporarily lost control of their Twitter handle.
"We sincerely apologise for the inappropriate retweet through our Twitter handle. We have regained control of our handle and have put proper measures to ensure that this does not occur again," read the apology.
The incident sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many Kenyans expressing their shock and disappointment at the council's actions.
