We decided to make a #MwangoMemes as a tribute to outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta given how memeable he has been.
He literally became the president of Meh-meh-s and he seemed to enjoy them too
Here are our top 10 memes from him:
1. Getting started a while back:
2. We have many faces of him:
3. Happy face:
4. Sad face:
5. Naughty face:
6. Cheeky face:
7. Funny face:
8. "Ona huyu" face:
9. This is kind of the way foreign journalists were waiting to see Kenya up in flames during elections:
10. Will be tough tomorrow for him wondering what to do now that he is no longer President:
11. At least for, the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act entitles him to a KES 34.7M lump sum pension for the 2 terms served, & an annual gratuity of KES 72M amongst many other benefits:
12. Meanwhile, he leaves behind a legacy of huge infrastructure project plus huge debts and a high inflation:
13. Slowly, Kenyans are going back to watching KBC. It is the only local channel showing the inauguration:
14. "Sasa, cheki yule pale anasoma memes zetu bila kulike au kuRT"
15. "Sasa, mnataka nido?"
16. "Wee, mimi sina pesa"
17. "And then we told them we are going to build 5 international stadiums"
18. "Do you see those #MwangoMemes, wueh? These #Mwango people know their stuff"
19. Anyway, he bows out tomorrow. Goodbye king of memes.
