What’s Going On?
President William Ruto promised to procure an industrial chapati-making machine capable of producing one million chapatis per day as part of Nairobi’s "Dishi na County" school feeding program. The goal: provide chapatis for over 300,000 schoolchildren. (allAfrica.com, Nation Africa)
Internet Goes Wild
This bold pledge ignited a flurry of AI-generated memes and satire. Kenyans went to town imagining:
Futuristic chapati factories with rolling conveyor belts and robotic arms churning out flatbreads nonstop
Nairobi’s roads flooded with chapatis, or citizens using giant chapatis as lifeboats
Classrooms and even Parliament filled with stacks of chapatis instead of books or documents (The Standard, Tuko.co.ke - Kenya news., Pulselive Kenya, Nation Africa)
“El Chapo” Enters the Chat
Netizens co-opted the nickname “El Chapo” as a tongue-in-cheek blend of the chapati promise and the infamous drug lord, highlighting the outlandishness of the idea. (allAfrica.com, Nation Africa)
Skits & Satirical Takes
Comedian Njugush satirized the plan, joking that instead of a machine, students could just be given flour packets to make chapatis themselves. Another punchy skit imagined chapati being prescribed in hospitals instead of medicine—highlighting misplaced priorities. (Nation Africa, Kenyan Post)
The Math-Masters Respond
Online comment sections lit up with math-savvy Kenyans, breaking it down:
One million chapatis per day = 41,667 per hour, 694 per minute, or nearly 12 per second
Users mused whether the machine would require vast quantities of ingredients, electricity, and massive logistics… or instead simply create thousands of jobs by employing chapati makers traditionally (The Standard, Tuko.co.ke - Kenya news., Reddit)
Voices from Politics & Criticism
Some politicians, including Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, criticized the initiative as tone-deaf, saying that the governor should instead be focusing on infrastructure like water, transport, and urban planning—not chapati machines. (K24 Digital)
