Angry Kenyans on social media are demanding for the deportation of an unapologetic incoming East Africa Bureau Chief for New York Times, Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura, after the American news outlet posted gory images of the Riverside Drive Attack and arrogantly refused to take them down despite multiple complaints from Kenyans.

In a response to the calls for the pulling down of the images, Kimiko gave Kenyans a huge middle finger in an arrogant response, saying she wasn't responsible for the photos posted by the news source, followed by an arrogant statement by New York Times regarding the matter. Kimiko would later delete her tweets.

Through the hashtag #DeportKimiko, Kenyans are now urging the government to cancel Kimiko's work permit and deport her.
