Demagogue, Dr Akombe, Jimmy Wanjigi top search and trends on Google Respectively

Demagogue was the most searched word on Google this month while Dr Roselyn Akombe, former commissioner of IEBC and Jimmy Wanjigi were the top trending Google Searches.

This follows the release of the top trends by the Search Engine in the month of October.

The word Demagogue came to light after, Miguna Miguna, a popular Kenyan Politician used the word in a popular TV show.

During the panel discussion, Miguna used the word to describe the Vice President, William Ruto, saying that Ruto will never become the President of the Republic of Kenya as “the man is a demagogue.”

According to the English Dictionary, a Demagogue is a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument. Also, the word became more popular after Twitter trolls used it in creating memes around the same.

The resignation of IEBC Commissioner Dr. Roselyn Akombe and fleeing the country almost broke the internet as well as Jimmy Wanjigi‘s home raid which yielded his maiden appearance to the public had Kenyans hitting their keyboards to unravel the mystery behind him and his wife Nzisa and this helped get him on the top ten trends.

Other key searches included, Harvey Weinstein, a powerful Hollywood producer. Kenyans were curious to find out who sexually assaulted Hollywood, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o. Harvey has been accused by over 40 women of sexually assaulting or raping them.

Dennis Oliech also topped the list after a photo of him dressed “shabbly” got him trolled and many saying he is washed up and broke. Kenyans are also interested in world news and the Las Vegas deadly shooting that left 58 dead and 546 injured was a heavily searched topic.
