Unsatisfied Kenyans converged on twitter using #mheshimiwafisi to heckle and shame politicians who are living way behind their promises during 2017 election campaign.
This debate which looks to have been fueled by latest move by a section of MPs to increase their salary and allowance parks while the common citizens wallow in poverty at their expense.
Some governors, senators, MPs and MCAs who were elected in 2017 have little or at all not attempted to achieve either of their promises they used to win elections
Check out some of twitter feed that well captured the politicians greediness

;MPs also want government cars, just like their 47 county woman representative colleagues, and car loans on top of the mileage allowance paid to members of the National Assembly only, and the Sh7 million car grant that they all receive. #MheshimiwaFisi

Kenyan MPs' take home about 1.2 million per month. They are among the best paid in the world even though they represent a mostly impoverished electorate.
BUT STILL WANT MORE!#MheshimiwaFisi

A fool is a fool. an MP complaining that Ksh 1.2M is not enough for him is so ludicrous. Do they know that many Kenyans get nothing at the end of the month?That money is enough if MPs could do away with their concubines and reform the economy. Punda amechoka!🎤 #MheshimiwaFisi
