PRESIDENT RUTO, TELL US ABOUT US.
Mr President, when you come to Murang'a, Baringo, Kisii, Siaya or anywhere else in Kenya, there is something many ordinary people would rather hear about:
Us.
Tell the mama mboga:
“I know biashara imekuwa ngumu. I know some evenings you go home with almost nothing.”
Tell the boda boda rider:
“I know after fuel, food and everything else, sometimes what remains cannot pay school fees.”
Tell the parent:
“I know there are nights when you calculate electricity, water, rent, school fees and food — and the money simply cannot reach all of them.”
Tell the young graduate:
“I know you studied, graduated and you are still looking for somewhere to start.”
Tell us what our government is doing about those things.
Instead, we are being invited into a quarrel between two billionaires.
Uhuru betrayed me.
Uhuru is the sponsor.
Uhuru is a rebel leader.
I supported Uhuru.
He was supposed to support me.
Mr President, hiyo ni mambo yenu. 😄
If Uhuru promised you ten years and changed his mind, invite him somewhere.
Order nyama choma.
Call a kamukunji of two.
Lock the door.
Tell each other everything.
Cry if necessary. 😂
Then when you finish, come outside and talk to Kenyans about Kenyans.
Because whether Uhuru is sponsoring Linda Mwananchi or not, he is not sponsoring my electricity bill.
He is not paying my rent.
He is not buying unga in my house.
He is not paying my child's school fees.
And when a Kenyan asks why life is difficult, that Kenyan has not suddenly become a rebel.
When a young person raises a phone to record a police officer, Uhuru has not sponsored the phone.
When a mother asks about healthcare, Uhuru did not send her.
When a citizen asks where their taxes are going, that is not a former president speaking through them.
That is the citizen talking to their government.
William Ruto won the presidency in 2022. Whatever Uhuru Kenyatta said about whether he could govern, the election settled who got the job.
