Trolls

Perturbed fans called out the reggae DJ for the act with all manner of trolls:

Stupidity of highest order …????

 

True rasta no kneel to no man ????????

 

this is what we need to change! Raila is not a demigod! you don’t get elected by kissing his ass! the people of kibra should be given the chance to elect there mp! Odm is not a democratic party! u lick baba or ur out! wajaluo na hiyo akili yote Mungu amewapea if one day they wake up and realize this nonsense Kisumu ingekua capital city ya Uganda,tanzania na kenya smh nkt

 

DJ Kriss Darlin am your biggest fan and nothing would make me more happier than seeing you clinch the Kibra ticket BUT kneeling before a human being is degrading! @RailaOdinga is not a god

 

 Kneeling to man is lack of self respect not mind game.

 

The 1st man i have seen kneeling before a fellow man just because of something called POWER!!!
God forgive us for we have sinned before your eyes????????????????????

 

The stupidity of the highest order!To kibra people, vote for this zombie at your own peril! The only reason everyone loved Okoth is that he never worshiped anyone and he stood for a course! Hii Chris darling ni cabbage, just want to get elected but is empty-headed and nothing to offer

 

Is the guy even a party member of ODM? Kibra should reject him at an instant. This is the next Aisha Jumwa.
If you kneel before God in heaven, you can stand before any man. Kriss Darlin ameniangusha….why kneel?

Defense

Celebrated musician, Suzzana Owiyo came to his defense on Monday tweeting:

Well, I don’t see the problem in kneeling down. Kriss Darling needed to prove himself at the moment! In a podium like that & being new in the game, you must find a way to be different. I wish him plus other candidates well! Kibra politics not a joke.

Kriss Darlin is set to contest alongside 26 other ODM hopefuls for the Kibra parliamentary seat ticket.
