Popular comedian Propesa has shared the ordeal that preceded his break from social media that lasted for more than five days.
In a statement on Friday, the comedian recalled that two people approached him and threatened him while he was coming back to the capital from Thika. Feeling very scared and confused, he went home not understanding why he was being threatened.
“Hello, my friends, Yesterday as I was coming from Thika town some two people came to me and threatened me. I went back home very scared not knowing why I would I receive such threats,” Propesa noted.
Propesa had dedicated his X (Twitter) account to demand accountability from Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok, consistently tagging him in his messages and demanding him to handle the national identity cards (IDs) case immediately.
In a series of posts on the platform, Propesa highlighted that Kenyans had not been receiving their IDs for over seven months citing the case of his brother who is about to join a university but has faced delays.
Other Kenyans also spoke about the same problem and he tried to support them by amplifying their voices.
