Published on August 7, 2019, a photo of a hotel bill shared by K24 journalist Betty Kyallo has sparked a heated debate on social media.
The bill, which was captioned 'Since guys are always bragging about bills in the club???? cheki vile nimechafua my peeps!?????? #ImAYoungBaller #GotCash', showed a total of Sh870 for a meal that included beef and chapati.
However, the photo quickly went viral, with many users expressing their shock and amusement at the large order of beef, with some even joking that Betty had eaten a whole cow.
Others questioned the value of the meal, with one user commenting, 'Iyo ni saa tatu na mtu anakula kama lunch waaa at 1240/- iyo ni one month shopping.'
Despite the backlash, Betty has remained unapologetic, with one user defending her by saying, 'Respect Betty hapa appetite ni ya kwetu lugulu. Si umeshtua minyoo I say!'
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the cost of food in Kenya, with some users joking that the bill was equivalent to a month's shopping.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Betty Kyallo's hotel bill has become a social media sensation.
