Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly (MCA) Robert Alai has urged President William Ruto to save the country from the current crisis.
Taking to his X account on Sunday, July 21, 2024, Alai said that Ruto must not allow Kenya to face further chaos and anarchy.
Alai further questioned why the chaos was allowed in the first place adding that the alleged organisers and financiers shouldn’t be allowed to hide in and out of the country.
“President Ruto must not allow further chaos and anarchy. I wonder why we allow the chaos. Organisers and financiers of the chaos shouldn’t be allowed to hide in and out of the country. Why should the chaos be allowed?” Alai said.
Ruto on protests
Alai’s sentiments come moments after Ruto vowed to protect the nation from the anti-government protesters.
While addressing residents of Chebango in Bomet County after attending a church service on Sunday, July 21, 2024, Ruto said that Kenya is a democratic country and that her democracy will not be surrendered to faceless, formless and anonymous anarchists.
“Going forward we will protect the nation. We will protect Kenyans, stop the killers, we will stop anarchy, and will stop looters. Kenya is a democracy and we want a peaceful nation,” Ruto said.
“We cannot continue like this. The country is much more important than any group of people. We must stand together as a nation, protect our nation and make sure that Kenya is a democracy.”
The head of state lamented that despite giving in to the demands made by the anti-government protesters, the protests are still on.
“I have given a chance to everybody to say whatever they want, it can’t continue like this, the country is more important than any group of people,” he said.
Ruto on dialogue with Gen Zs
Ruto further said that he called for a dialogue, which has also been declined by the protesters adding that Generation Zs (Gen Zs) refused to engage him in the X spaces as they had demanded.
“Walisema tusipitishe Finance Bill, mimi nimewacha Finance Bill. Nikawaita wakasema hawataki kuja kuzungumza na mimi. Wakaniambia niende huko kwa X, mimi nikaenda huko kwa X, wakatoroka huko, hawakukuwepo,” Ruto stated.
“Wakasema tuitishe mazungumzo, nimeitisha mazungumzo, wamekataa. Nimewaambia, wanaendelea kusema wao ni faceless, wao ni formless…Mimi nimewaambia, sasa my friends, you know, I have given everybody a chance to say whatever they want.”
President Ruto must not allow further chaos and anarchy.
I wonder why we allow the chaos. Organisers and financiers of the chaos shouldn’t be allowed to hide in and out of the country.
