Thousands of youth have gathered at Uhuru Park for a memorial concert honoring victims who lost their lives during anti-government protests. According to a video posted by Citizen TV, during the reading of the names of deceased protesters from the finance bill demonstrations, disagreement emerged. Instead of the traditional "viva" response as instructed by the reader of the names the crowd repeatedly chanted "Ruto must go" after each name was called.
This deviation in response highlights the deep-seated political sentiments among the attendees, specifically directed towards Deputy President William Ruto. The memorial concert, originally intended to solemnly honor the deceased, turned into a platform for expressing dissatisfaction with the current government.
The chanting reflects ongoing discontent and frustration among the youth regarding governance issues, particularly in relation to recent protests and their aftermath. It underscores a vocal demand for political change and accountability from the leadership.
The event at Uhuru Park not only served as a tribute but also amplified the voices of dissent within the younger generation. It signifies a growing trend where public gatherings are utilized not only to remember the fallen but also to articulate grievances and demands for systemic reforms.
As such gatherings continue to draw significant participation and attention, they play a crucial role in shaping public discourse and influencing political dynamics in the country. The chanting of "Ruto must go" underscores the intensity of public opinion and the youth's role in advocating for change.
