Now he should resign and taken to court for killing young Kenyans

[kkwilson]

He mistook himself for a dictator, the people told him otherwise.

[calvinnyarango]

Now we'll hold him into account for the over 300 people that were murdered because he thought he was right and the entire nation was wrong. Ruto must go!!

[Rebo]

Kick him out of office. Because people already died

Kenyan sons and daughters make the whole of Africa proud with their unity and solidarity in that they can't look on as a couple of people make laws to benefit and satisfy themselves and leave the country's future in turmoil.We love you our Kenyan brothers and sisters.You're a true symbol and definition of Africa❤️ ❤️

One day..." you are criminals "...less than 24 hours later..." the people have spoken"...nothing honest about this guy. I have taken this move with a huge pinch of salt. 😅😅😅

1. He lied when he said that 6 young ones died. Its more than a hundred young ones.
2. He lied when said that gas went from 200ksh to 178. When he came in it was at 163ksh per ltr.
3. Parliament is at recess. TILL 22nd of July. If the bill stays as it is, (even if he doesn't sign it) for 21 days, it automatically becomes law.
4. He called young kids, who died fighting for their land, thieves.
Naaaah. He is still trying to play us.

[Mark-ht]

We don't want him as our presidency
He must resign

[najmahassan]

African leaders should be held accountable otherwise they will behave like the country is their property.

[duncankairegi]

[bellyndahgiselle]

I as a Kenyan we are giving warning to those western nations like USA the owners of IMF and worldbank leave Kenya and Africa alone, you cannot impose you will on us. Wether we owe you or not will not be heavyly taxed to fund the western world free education, free medication and technologies. Africans are raising and we shall be relentless. Viva Kenya! Viva Africa.

[Accuface]

Who else noticed the deafening silence of the West as Ruto went on a killing spree, leaving 10 people dead and 200 injured?

[mwauranyambura]

Did we have to lose over 300 lives for this? Do not be fooled. We have deeper issues than this! 🇰🇪

[princess]

Proud Kenyan! Ugandans and other African countries please follow suit. Stand up for yourselves against these grown bullies.

[godfreyntumbila]

That's how it should be not being a puppet

[lawrenceshichana]

He's a corrupt crook. The first ever Kenyan president who'll have a single term.
