Amidst the criticism that the MP faces since the video emerged on social media, Kenyans, being their normal humorous selves, have also resorted to funny memes as the debate on the lawmaker’s conduct rages on.
The video captured Orero’s driver and him in the co-driver’s seat; a snap of the two of them has gone viral and has been converted to a myriad of memes.
In the photo, comic Kenyans edited the two men’s faces into hilarious situations, giving them new personalities.

Kenyans react to MP Orero’s drama
In the comment section, many Kenyans shared their thoughts on the viral video:
Bible Study said:
“I honestly wonder how many times Ruto’s name gets mentioned in a single day …or even per second. For the past 2 years, it’s been nonstop: Ruto this, Ruto that.”
Charles G. Maina said:
“Do we need to go to school to learn ethics? Just asking.”

“Teacher Orero was my teacher at Kamukunji. He was a nice, humble guy who always took the school netball team to the national level and won several times. He’s also the man behind Mariga and Wanyama.”
What did MP Orero tell Larry Madowo?
In the trending clip, the MP and his driver were driving on the wrong side of the road when Madowo spotted them.
The journalist tried asking why they were on the wrong side of the road, but they both asked him to take the video to the president.
“Peleka kwa Ruto! Taka Taka (Take it to Ruto),” they said.
Kenyans share viral memes to counter tribal profiling
In other news, Kenyans also shared viral memes on X in a thread dubbed ‘we are all Kikuyus’.
Social media users decided to go all out in defiance of tribal profiling that had been linked to the recent protests witnessed in the country.
This began after a section of politicians allied to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party alleged that the recent wave of Gen Z demonstrations was being sponsored by the Agikuyu community.
