This week, Kenyan blogger Abraham Mutai faced heavy backlash after he made a controversial tweet accusing Kenyan mobile technology company Cellulant of tribalism.
Mutai questioned why the company's six employees who died in the Riverside Drive Attack were all from the same community. Social media users called out the blogger for being insensitive and taking advantage of a tragedy to push his own agenda.
