Phillip Etale, the ODM party's communications secretary, is on a hot plate with kenyans on Twitter.
He shared a photo of Koffi Olomide and a tweet mocking his attire.
"His name is Koffi Olomide." He is 66. Papa Wa Roma, JB Muturi, Martha Karua, Theresa May, Steve Harvey, Dwane Casey, Mukesh Ambani, and others are among his contemporaries. But his clothing code irritates me greatly.
Maybe he hoped others would side with him, but they opted to attack him severely. He was left defending and justifying himself in the replies.

He had to retweet something apologizing for his earlier statement, but he didn't take down his previous message.
"Poleni est. Koffi Olomide, also known as Quadra Kora Man, Grand Mopao Mokonzi, Mukulukulu, Patra, Le Rambo, Nkolo Lupemba, Mokolo Bilanga, and many other names, is a GOOD MAN. A fantastic artist. Fashionista. A people's man. Malamu Mobali."
People advised him to leave musicians' attire to the artists, but he should concentrate on Azimio and the Finance bill.
Some advised him to leave the singer alone because his fashion sense defines his brand and is his hallmark.
One or two people sympathized with him and stated that many would not comprehend his post. Others advised him not to get involved in topics that did not concern him.
