X Screenshot taken by the author on 27 June. "Unaenda maandamano unapata babako ndiye hired goon" loosely translates to: "You go for protests and find your father is one of the hired goons". The message therefore mocks the use of hired goons by alleged state officials to try and quell or curb the protests, at the same time, it shows the diversity of the goons that were hired, cutting across ages - and plays on the current economic challenges facing the country.
