The political storm in Kenya just intensified! Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has waded into the fire, boldly declaring that the rising “Ruto Must Go” chants are not just noise—they reflect real frustrations that President William Ruto can no longer afford to ignore.
Speaking on Saturday, March 29, 2025, Wamuchomba, a staunch ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, didn’t hold back. She insisted that these protests stem from raw anger over crippling economic policies and widespread suffering.
“This Is Bigger Than Politics—Kenyans Are Fed Up!”
Wamuchomba tore into the government’s failures, listing a catalog of betrayals that have pushed Kenyans to the edge.
“The people are not crying out for fun. They’re drowning in economic pain—crushed by the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHA), collapsed university funding, delayed pensions, vanishing Inua Jamii stipends, forced salary deductions, skyrocketing electricity prices, and a crippling unemployment crisis,” she declared.
In a bold challenge to Ruto, she warned that these frustrations won’t disappear just because the government ignores them. She insisted that protesting is a constitutional right, not a crime, despite rising concerns from security forces.
“Mr. President, listen. These voices cannot be silenced by intimidation. The Constitution is clear: power belongs to the people. Kenya is a democracy, not a dictatorship,” she asserted.
The Military Sends a Chilling Message
As the anti-Ruto uproar grows, Kenya’s military has broken its silence, issuing a cryptic but ominous warning. Speaking at the National Intelligence and Research University (NIRU) in Nairobi on Thursday, March 27, 2025, Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Charles Kahariri made it clear—there are limits to dissent.
“We are here to protect the Constitution and the legitimate government elected by Kenyans,” Kahariri declared. “If protests turn into chaos, we will not hesitate to act.”
His words sent shockwaves across the nation, with some interpreting them as a veiled threat against protestors. Kahariri insisted that while Kenyans have the right to express discontent, they must do so within the law.
“We cannot allow disorder. Your rights end where the nation’s stability begins,” he warned.
Backlash Erupts
Kahariri’s remarks triggered immediate backlash, with leaders sharply divided.
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi defended the military, urging Kenyans not to attack the CDF. “General Kahariri only reminded us that protests must remain constitutional. The military is not the enemy,” Amisi said on Friday, March 28, 2025.
But Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah wasn’t buying it. He slammed the military for meddling in politics, warning that history has shown the dangers of security forces stepping into civilian affairs.
“The Constitution is clear—the military must remain apolitical. Their recent statements suggest they are being dragged into the political battlefield, and that is dangerous,” Omtatah posted on X.
As tensions escalate and battle lines are drawn, Kenya teeters on the brink. Will Ruto heed the warning, or will the fire only grow hotter?
