Moses Kuria, along with other MPs from Ruto's cabinet, had a difficult day in Nyeri when he attended Wanjigi's father's funeral. To Wanjigi's dismay, his appearance caused unrest among the audience, who chanted "Ruto must go" as soon as he took the microphone.
Sensing the hostile environment, Kuria cut short his address and left, feeling ashamed of the occasion. Wanjigi was unable to assist as his security arrived and led him out of the event without delay.
The episode highlights persistent public ire that has been made worse by current issues like the finance bill, which has stoked unrest all around Kenya. In the wake of these events, Ruto's allies have discovered themselves in the center of public scrutiny.
The event has historical significance, and Kuria's uneasy reaction has been amplified because Wanjigi's father was a well-known player in Kenyan politics in previous decades.
It's evident right now that Kenyans are done with President Ruto and just want him and his associates removed so they may choose new leaders.
