This tweet by the British High Commissioner to Kenya has many confused

British High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriott left online users confused on Wednesday evening after she put up a quite controversial post on Twitter.

Ms. Marriott tweeted an image showing she was at a restaurant in the U.K. enjoying pizza, while on the side was a glass of water and a report titled: State Capture – Inside Kenya’s Inability to Fight-Corruption.

However, it is the caption accompanying the image that raised eyebrows with many wondering whether she was taking a dig at Kenya.

“Briefly back in the UK. Appreciating and enjoying a (gluten free – am coeliac) pizza, the privilege of tap water…and some Kenya reading, as the big issues continue to challenge us all,” read the caption.

Some online users wondered what the High Commissioner meant by saying she was “…enjoying the privilege of tap water…” in the UK, while others paid more attention on the report she was reading.
