Rapcha the Sayantist jokes that goons should increase charges for being misused in rallies

In a statement on his X account on Friday, February 27, 2026, Rapcha called for the pay to be reviewed upwards.
Saying that the current pay of Ksh500 per event is too low for the services, the fierce government critic noted that the figure should stand at Ksh5000 per head for every rally.
“Goons wanafaa waongeze bei ya kutumwa kwa rallies, mia tano ni dhulma ukiangalia ile risk iko kwa ile kazi. Saa hii inafaa kua inachezea 5k per head,” Rapcha stated.
This loosely translates to: “Goons should increase the charges for being misused in rallies. Ksh500 is exploitation, taking into account the risks involved. By now, the charges should be Ksh5000 per head.
Rapcha’s criticism
The content creator has been using his platforms to criticise the president while also urging voters to send Ruto home in the 2027 elections.
He recently called out celebrities secretly supporting Ruto amid growing opposition from those keen on sending the President home in the 2027 elections.
In a statement on his X account on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the content creator noted that celebrities backing the president’s reelection have developed a habit of lecturing others on democracy.
“Celebrities” who are secretly supporting Ruto are always lecturing us about democracy and freedom of choice. We know what democracy is, and we also know what leadership is. If you can’t explain everything Ruto has done for Kenya that has influenced your decision… then we are old enough to know why you support him,” he stated.
Celebrities supporting Ruto slammed
Similar concerns were shared by rapper Henry Ohanga, popularly known as Octopizzo, who called out celebrities hiding behind their brands at a time when they should add their voices to compelling conversations on the challenges facing Kenyans on whose backs their fame is built.
“Public figures can’t keep hiding behind their brands while the country erodes. Bad governance touches everything & everyone, the cost of living, opportunity, dignity, and even the future of children not yet born,” Octopizzo stated on Monday, February 24, 2026.
