- KoT in a frenzy after IEBC Twitter account dubbed the Building Bridges Initiative as 'Burning Bridges'.
Kenyans on Twitter were hyped after the official Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) account dubbed the Building Bridges Initiative as 'Burning Bridges'.
In the usual KoT manner, tweeps were quick to snip screenshots of the tweet before it was deleted.
IEBC posted pictures of agents picked for the BBI signature verification exercise with the caption that has sent the internet in a frenzy.
"Happening Now: The launch of the Burning Bridges Initiative Supporters Verification Exercise at the Bomas of Kenya," the IEBC post read.
Kenyans took this moment to troll and also castigate the electoral body for the tweet which has been deleted.

Here are comments from Kenyans
The electoral body clarified stating that it was a typographical error:
"Earlier today, the Commission posted a tweet on the launch of the Verification of BBI supporters. However, there was a typographical error in the tweet which was made inadvertently. The error does NOT any in way reflect the position of the Commission or its staff," part of the statement by IEBC read.
