Opinion: Ruto’s Presidential Roundtable will only inspire more demos…

I have no blood on my hands. 19 people to the record that I have are dead. Very unfortunate, as a democracy that should not be part of our conversation. 2.4 billion of property has been destroyed. Office of the CJ, City Hall and Parliament have been burnt” – President William Ruto (30.06.2024)

Someone needs to enlighten the people of Harambee house and the whole Office of the President. The republic is burning and the President is oblivious to the fact. A President that thinks he can spin the facts, spew nonsense and think he can get away with it. This generation will not accept that.

The Gen-Z won’t allow it to happen. They are ready and will go out for more. They are not steadfast and wanting to step down. No, they will return and with the Presidential Roundtable. Nothing he said during the Roundtable Interview will be taken as good feedback or concern from His Excellency. There is no compassion, concern or even an ounce of empathy from the President.

Just stuff like this: “MPs are not fools and they are not mad. One day Kenya will know that the MPs who voted yes are the true heroes of Kenya. Those are the people who saw the opportunity for us to unchain our country from the debt trap and take our country to the future” (Ruto, 30.06.2024).

His Excellency must be in la-la-la land. Because saying this after the fact and everything that has transpired. Just proves that he never listened, never cared and never had an intention of listening. That is the proof right here. If he believes the MPs who voted for the Finance Bill of 2024 are heroes. Than he is a truly lost cause and the one that is slowly becoming the Former President of Republic of Kenya.

We all can see it and envision it. Further in the interview he even said this: “That is your assessment because you have never associated the truth with me from the beginning. Whether you believe me or not, facts will not change” (Ruto, 30.06.2024).

Facts are based on logic and what can be proven. He is deeming it totally wrong here. Just proving how easily it is for him to lie. When he says it like this. That’s when you know that he will twist words and make it to benefit him. Just like he said he hasn’t “blood on his hands” after every single body that’s been taken over the last few weeks. Ruto is a man of vicious violence and it shows by every day. How he defends it and how he stands by it. Instead of being remorseful or deeply concerned. His on the defensive trying to figure a positive way out.

Not to forget this one as well: “If I am called Zakayo because I have explained to Kenyans that the option we have is if we continue borrowing we will go down the cliff. If that is what is going to take for Kenya to be saved from a debt default, I don’t mind being called Zakayo because it is a sacrifice worth making” (Ruto, 30.06.2024).

What we are seeing is a man whose defiant about the protests, the demonstrations and the will to end his reign. A man who is willing to betray every ideal and every dogma out there. Just so he can stay in the State House. President Ruto isn’t willing to budge. He will lie, steal and kill, as long as his prosperous. That is all that matters. He out-hustled the hustlers. That’s the end game here.

President Ruto will only save himself, he don’t mind if the Republic burns to ashes, as long as he profits and endures. The lives can be taken, the businesses can be destroyed, but he overcame victorious. That is all that matters in the eye of the President. Peace.

Opinion: Ruto is busy with diversions…

The State House, the President and his whole team is busy scheming. It isn’t hard to phantom why, but he is very preoccupied in doing so. His holding meetings with clergy and whatnot to pass time. Just to try to use old means to salvage the hurt. However, it isn’t biting.

A 100 individual committee to appease the Gen-Z won’t do much. It’s much ado about nothing. That’s as pointless as the BBI and any other investigation reports that is left in the archive for nobody to listen to the recommendations from the Commission or the entity that made it. Therefore, Ruto think this outsmarts the youth, but it is too late.

Former President Ruto is living on borrowed time. He isn’t listening. His acting like he cares about dialogue, while his simultaneously abducting, keeping people incommunicado and extra judicially killing people. The same people his supposed to talk to and find a consensus with. That’s the ones he uses this blind vindictive methods of silencing them.

The leadership, the ones in office and in power is clearly jaded. Thinking old tricks will work. That these people will accept the merry-go-rounds and hope the government will act upon recommendations. We know Ruto won’t and he is partly retaliating against people too.

Not only the activists and the youths who dares to challenge him on the streets, the ones who occupies and who stands their grounds. No, his going after the ones that visited the Parliament and the ones who damaged businesses. He hasn’t uttered a word of grievances or concern for all the lives lost. Neither has he come up with any solution for the ones hurt, injured or detained. No, he don’t care about the plights and only about the ethos of staying in office.

This storm won’t end easily. The leaderless, the tribe-less generation will haunt the President. A President who doesn’t listen or doesn’t accept blame. He rather throw others under the bus and hope they can take the fall. Because we know the President won’t accept a finalization and a quick end of his reign. He rather murder or massacre people to be the King on the Throne. That’s who Ruto is and this is his way of life.

The life of a tyrant and vampire. A bloodsucker and vicious leader with a lack of heart. That man shouldn’t run a nation. A man with little to no empathy. His only concern is his ability to cling on to power and the highest office. There is no worry about people livelihoods or cost of living. He don’t mind their grievances or their asks for reforms. No, he only changes because donors and allies are pressuring him from afar. He needs the support of Western nations to keep his lavish lifestyle afloat. That’s why their acknowledgement and support is more vital then the ones crying and weeping on the streets.

Ruto wants to trick the youth and get them silenced. Get them busy with protocol and with empty promises. That’s what his good at. It is what has given him political life. The violence and usage of lethal force is to silence the ones who are to vocal or in the wrong space at the wrong time. He will also use the security organizations to muffle whoever that might be able or have influence to cause more headache. That’s what he does…

Ruto wants a diversion and he shouldn’t get it. Peace.

Kenya: Ruto, when is it enough? [with the shooting and killing children…]

Enough is enough.

The bloodshed. The live-bullets. The injured people. The killed unarmed civilians. The usage of military and armed police force. When is it enough?

Is it enough that a baby was shot and a 5 year old got shot 7 times? Are the marbles in your membrane still working, Mr. President?

Are you okay with the extra judicial killings and torture of children? Can you go to sleep at night knowing your orders and your position in office is safeguarded by the ghosts of kids? Is that who you are Mr. President?

What crime did the kids and children do? Was this the right verdict and was you righteous in your quest to take their lives? How will you answer for this?

A kid was riddled with bullets. A baby was shot. I don’t know how many kids who has been shot or killed today. However, are the security organization of the Republic fine with that? Are they proud of their days labour? Is this what the Hustler Nation is all about and the Wheelbarrows of the elections? To carry the bodies in the wheelbarrows, because everything else was filled with bullet-holes?

Seriously, what gives?

Are the any reason or argument for this. Because I can’t find any. Innocent children was captured into this. Their lives was taken way to early. They died on the orders of the state and for the defence of whatever His Excellency deems “holy”.

Who in their right mind aims and shoots at children? Who does that? What purpose and what do you want to gain?

Where is the heart of these men and officers of the state? Does the President have one himself? Or is getting galvanized by the bloodshed like a vampire?

I don’t have the answers, but a government killing its own children isn’t a government fit to govern. They aren’t in it to make things better, but to rule with an iron fist. They are not there to deliver government services or be there in the hour of need. No, the government are there for inner-circle and the elite, which is the high ranking officials or whoever the Executive deems fit. Alas, citizens down to children can be prey of the monopolized violence of the state.

That’s what Ruto and his allies has become. A nation where he can order the butchering of children. Do it in plain sight. Riddle children with bullet-holes…

When people said the State House and the Parliament was places the demonstrators should never trespass. Why can the state do this? How in the world is this acceptable? There is a need of a reckoning and for heads to roll. There is no justification to kill children, innocent civilians like this and think you can get away with it. There is no restraint with the state agencies and they clearly doesn’t value life.

When they can shoot a baby and riddle a five year old with bullet. That’s when you know the state isn’t there for the people. That’s a state that’s there to serve the President and whoever his allied with. Peace.
