Humans have been fascinated by face masks since early civilizations and they come in different forms; cowls, clay masks, Barocco masks et al. In Kenya, a new mask was recently unveiled, lo and behold the grocery bag mask! Hmm what is it about masks though? Following the Barclays Bank 'fake' money scandal, Kenyans on Twitter were quick to recreate one of the most viral photos.
When the flying squad made their way to Barclays Bank Queensway branch, the nation was left in shock. More than Ksh 7 billion was discovered, kept in a safe in the bank. Of course arrests had to be made on the spot and four unknown people were photographed being led out of the bank and into the police vehicles. There is one who had covered his face with the new and improved carrier bag and one had some sort of face towel on. We took note and that was how a new meme challenge came to life.
It's unfortunate that despite the suspects efforts to hide their faces, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) office through their Twitter account, published their photos. The irony huh? As Kenyans languish in hunger, such huge sums of illegal cash are making rounds.
Here are some of the funniest tweets from Kenyans.
