Senator Murango warns Ruto and his allies over Gen Zs killings: Your day is coming
By Steve Ireri, July 22, 2025Kirinyaga Senator James Murango has issued a stern warning to President William Ruto, cautioning that the wave of karma poised to catch up with him is unavoidable due to the ongoing deaths and suffering of Kenya’s youth.
Speaking on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the senator condemned the government’s failure to protect young people, notably referencing the tragic death of Jacqueline, a Gen Z youth whose passing has stirred national grief and outrage.
Murango spoke sharply against President Ruto, stating that he has reached a pinnacle of disappointment.
Alongside the killings that have come to define his government, Murango asserted that the president has also failed to fulfill numerous promises made to the youth.
He insisted that these unkept promises are the source of widespread bitterness, and rather than recognising the call for action, the president has instead responded with increased brutality.
“That man came and said he would find solutions for these Gen Z youths, including Jacqueline, who has died. I want to say that even if you do not deserve it, you should treat others as you want to be treated. We tell our president that even if we do not fear him, he should fear God because the Almighty is with him, and there is nothing He cannot do. The trees for their coffins are also growing tall, and they are also waiting for them.”
The senator further lambasted government officials who appear indifferent to the killings, accusing them of ignoring pleas and exacerbating public pain.
He warned that their reckoning is imminent, urging them to grasp the fleeting and fragile nature of life.
“The president and his ministers who say children should be killed—I told them there is a tree growing in a place where you insulted us, and it is meant to make your coffins. Their day will come,” Murango warned in a tone laden with foreboding.
Murango also condemned leaders who urge others to commit violence yet evade accountability themselves.
He questioned the character of leaders who avoid attending gatherings mourning the dead due to fear of losing their jobs or financial support, asking what kind of leaders they truly are.
“There are leaders among us who deny and accuse us of killing our own children. Those who say ‘go kill them’ are not murderers themselves. If you cannot attend gatherings mourning the dead because you fear losing your job or money, what kind of leader are you?”
