Kenyans Reactions To The Samsung Advert On Top Of KICC

Samsung has placed a billboard on top of one of Kenya's most iconic buildings, the K.I.C.C. The advert can be viewed from pretty much every corner of the CBD and has obviously racked in lots of revenue considering the fact that a normal bilboard goes for like Kshs 500,000 per month.

This has however left Kenyans with mixed reactions.
