Soon after being let free from his home in Muthaiga, the famous businessman, Jimmy Wanjigi made a quick but emotional statement about his horrendous encounter with the law. But what followed, almost three hours later, was the internet fodder sparking an online craze with the hashtags #WanjigiChallenge #WetangulaChallenge.

The photo that fired up the viral challenge was taken at a briefing showing Wanjigi being held oh so fondly by his wife, with Senator Wetangula looking on. Needless to say, it did not take much for Kenyans creativity to lend a sense of humor, to the current controversial Presidential elections.

It seems that from the #GitheriMan Photoshop, the recently concluded #MuhohoChallenge and now the more impressive #WanjigiChallenge, Kenyans will remain creative in bringing laughter closer to anyone, even when the situation remains gloomy.
