Comedian-turned- activist and philanthropist Eric Omondi has labelled President William Ruto the sponsor of the protests that rocked the country in the recent past.
“They have been looking for the sponsors of of Gen z, they have been looking for the leader of Gen Z. Can I tell you who the leader is? Can I break to you the news? The leader of Eric Omondi, Gen Z and Maandamano, and revolution is William Ruto. The sponsor of Gen Z, juu mmemtafuta sana,” he said.
According to him, the president’s actions have widely contributed to the protests.
“He is the one who is supporting, fueling, sponsoring. Every time he does a press statement, he is sponsoring Gen Zs,” Eric said.
“His actions, his words are fueling anger. He is the leader, yeye ndio alianzisha,” he added.
President Ruto, on the other hand, said that the recent protests have been sponsored by foreign forces.
According to him, the individuals want to use shortcuts to ascend into power by causing chaos in the country.
“You citizens are intelligent people. You know the performers to re-elect and non performers to send home. So there’s no need to disrupt peace in the country, there’s no need to try and use shortcuts. Kenyans are intelligent people and will decide how the country moves forward,” he said.
The head of state has also come up with strategies to calm temperatures in the country by rejecting the Finance Bill 2024 as well as advocating for dialogue.
