Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta has closed his personal Twitter account due to personal attacks he gets from his followers.
The President’s Twitter account had more than three million followers before he deactivated it.
His administration now uses a State House account with around one million followers.
Confirming the development on Wednesday, Mr. Kenyatta said he often gets angered by insults peddled by citizens on him via Twitter, a development which he robbed him of sleep.
“I would rather talk to my wife and sleep and wake up in the morning to work,” he said in Swahili.
Kenyans on Twitter are known for expressing themselves on the platform often leading to online fights with tweeters from other countries.
