Ruto Mocks Azimio Amid Protests: Wamechanuka!
The opposition has been criticized by Kenya’s President William Ruto. For organizing protests against the government in response to the country’s high cost of living.
Ruto said in his statement on Saturday that the Azimio side has matured. To the point where they understand it is no longer necessary to hold demonstrations.
He also mentioned that the faction led by Raila Odinga is no longer requesting any financial assistance.
The President insisted that the government does not have any issues with the opposition. And that all they ask is that the opposition help bring the country together and build it up.
They were singing “Sasa wameanza kuchanuka” the other day, I overheard. They have ceased all demonstrations and now simply gather, talk, and then return home. Ruto commented, “That is nice, we have no problem, as long as properties are not destroyed we have no problem.”
