Hearing this, and there are still trapped people in mud slides with no action yet from the government, this makes me cry

[walenisi]

[geoffreywesonga]

This is the most careless president Kenya has ever had. He only cares about getting loans from World Bank and IMF but nothing on the ground to show whta the money is doing. Money maniac president. If COVID-19 came to Kenya now, am telling you, we can die like dogs while he traveles looking for loans to eat.

Look at william ruto's history bro is a scammer, murderer, and thief he is a selfish person who only cares about himself this is my opinion

[Onderiz]

Tone deaf. The voice of incompetence. When there are protests, the government resources to counter them are very visible. When disaster hits, the silence of the Kenyan government is deafening. Sheer incompetence.

[Muthonie]

This is the biggest mistake Kenyans made

[Francisqolito]

Declare national disaster wacha "tumetenga" mingi Mr!

[abdiqanigedi]

Ukiangalia vizuri utadhani ako seriois.

[bppxord]

The guy is a serial liar, everything he says, take it with a pinch of salt, at your own risk, that is

[clairmontjoseph]

This guy is the real Michael jackson so you guys can sing along

[jeffchurum]

Save the talk unaeza andika novel tutasoma ukitoka 2027. Talk less act more.

[brianndichu]

Wolf in sheep clothing ...wat an evil govt anyway everyman 4 himself God 4 us all

[chebby]

The first lady said we go the rains through prayer, let her stop the rains through the same means.

[dorothyokoth]

He thinks he is still campaigning. People are losing their lives.

[sirn]

It's sad for our president to lie to international media, yet he has done nothing to assist Kenyans. We miss our former president Uhuru kenyatta so much this man is heartless

[gikundiarenge]

Ruto will always lie. Stop housing project and re-direct it to other emergency

[hendrickorutwa]

Hii Kenya ingekua mbali kama si corruption na funds mismanagement.

[teresiawachira]

The emergency disaster money is allocated just for emergencies. Where is the counties' emergency fund?

[muigomartin]

He doesn't have a clue despite growing from a humble background.
You v
Can think he was born with a silver spoon!
