Kenyan celebrities have taken to social media to express their outrage over President William Ruto’s recent responses to the tragic events in Githurai and Rongai. The nation remains in shock following the Githurai massacre, where innocent lives were lost, and the heartbreaking death of a 12-year-old boy in Rongai.
In an exclusive interview, President Ruto’s comments have drawn sharp criticism from prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Singer and songwriter Wahu Kagwi expressed her disbelief, saying, “I’m still in disbelief…the arrogance, lack of remorse, evasiveness, lack of ownership.” Her sentiments echo the sentiments of many Kenyans who expected a more empathetic and accountable response from the country’s leader.
Media personality Ciru Muriuki went further, describing President Ruto’s behavior as indicative of a “dark triad personality at work.” The dark triad refers to a combination of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Muriuki’s assessment highlights the growing concern among citizens about the leadership’s ability to address pressing issues with sincerity and compassion.
The Githurai massacre, which claimed the lives of innocent civilians, has left the nation grieving and demanding justice. Meanwhile, the tragic loss of a young boy in Rongai has sparked outrage and calls for urgent action to prevent such incidents from recurring.
As the public grapples with these heartbreaking events, Kenyan celebrities are using their platforms to amplify the voices of the affected families and advocate for accountability. Their collective condemnation of President Ruto’s responses underscores the need for transparent communication and genuine concern from the highest office in the land.
While the nation mourns, citizens are looking to their leaders for reassurance, empathy, and decisive action. The spotlight is now on President Ruto to address the concerns raised by both celebrities and ordinary Kenyans. The hope remains that he will rise to the occasion and demonstrate true leadership during this challenging time.
