MP Kaluma Faces Critism On Twitter

Dreadlocks were worn as a social and cultural symbol in pre-Columbian America, Ocenia, and Africa. They were frequently connected to shamanism. For warriors and chiefs, dreadlocks were frequently a mark of power and integrity and a connection to the divine and the spirit world.

Most young people and young adults today believe that having dreadlocks is fashionable, in contrast to older people who believe that having dreadlocks is the root of all evil and that having them makes one look like a gangster.

In the recent story tweet that spark the internet, Peter Kaluma, a member of parliament for Homa Bay Town, has faced criticism after he attempted to criticize professionals who wear dreadlocks in a Tweet he made four days ago.

MP Kaluma posted on Twitter, asking, "Imagine your doctor, lawyer, or engineer in dreadlocks," which triggered a contentious discussion online, especially among those who had dreadlocks.

The MP was subsequently criticized for his careless statements by enraged Tweeps who swarmed to his comment area.

Many IT experts, lawyers, software engineers, and other professionals commented on the relevant topic and shared their own photographs in an effort to refute MP Kaluma.
