Senator Methu’s fresh cut sparks mixed reactions

A social media post by Nyandarua Senator John Muhia Methu that shows the lawmaker spotting shaved hair and beards has ignited mixed reactions among netizens.

A section of netizens had previously voiced their discontent over his untrimmed hair and beards, while others appreciated his distinctive look.

Public opinion on the senator’s appearance grew increasingly vocal, which ultimately influenced his decision to shave his long hair and beards.

“Nyinyi si wazuri, by the way, imebidi,” he said in his social media post on Monday, which was accompanied by a picture apparently showcasing his new look.

The move sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans, with a section applauding his new look while others stated that they preferred his former look and others found it hard to believe.

"Congratulations! Now you look like a senator; please don't keep those beards again. People were worried,” Stephen Kabuga reacted.

“I will believe it when I see the video,” Karangu Muraya hilariously posted.

“Don't try to show us TBT; bring evidence,” Ruthie Njoro stated.

Kimata Joseph posted, “Now you are the young, vibrant young leader you have always been mhesh. Congratulations.”

“You don’t look like yourself,” Alice Mwangi said.

“I could have believed but just recalled that the hair kept a very serious covenant!” Celine Mary Mwangi, on the other hand, posted.

Maggie Jane added, “So, you are this young!”
