CBK Trolled By KOT With Their ‘elfu moja kama change’ Reply

As the country prepares to completely, according to CBK, do away with Old a thousand notes. Netizens have comically rubbished Central Bank Of Kenya’s tweet about the set September 30th deadline.

It all started when CBK governor Patrick Njoroge posted this reminder

Then ironically, a Kenyan social media user commented with a question that “Pal na makanga akinipea noti mzee ntado?”

CBK replied using their verified twitter account and told the user that he, rather everyone else, should not accept the old sh 1K notes as balances.

Hakuna makanga atakayekurudishia noti ya elfu moja kama ‘change’. Kumbuka, ni noti ya KSh 1000 pekee ambayo itaachwa kutumika Septemba 30. Zingine zote zitaendelea kutumika. https://t.co/Vuh5AvZaDD

But local netizens trolled the reply from CBK with some asking them, ‘Kwani makanga atakupea Thao kama change juu mko na noti ya thao Kumi?’

Here’s more troll comments about the CBK’s tweet:

Kwa change kunaeza kua na 1k kweli?. This applies to the 1k note only
