This is Why Kidero’s Grass Is Trending On Twitter Again.

Kidero’s grass has been the butt end of odd jokes after it refused to grow despite the efforts by the city council to water and pamper it ahead of the potus visit last weekend. It reminds me strangely of a poem by Jonathan Kariara: For Grass Will Grow.  A profound little poem of hope. But that is besides the point, Kidero’s Grass is trending again on twitter.. 

 Now it turns out that the grass and part of the flowers on the roadside had been hired to beautify the city. Today, social media was lit with a majority  tweeting about how the flowers that had been used were being returned to the owners who had hired  them to the city council. 

Some of the most notable tweets:

It turns out #KideroGrass & flowers were not really bought. They were for hire. Some County workers have been uprooting them! @WanjeriNderu

#KideroGrass and flowers uprooted. They were ‘hired’ for the @POTUS visit
