The current political climate in the country and Deputy President Rigathi Gachaguaโs impeachment by the National Assembly have seen a number of high-ranking government officials and politicians with close links to President William Ruto come face to face with disgruntled Kenyans who have resorted to using every available opportunity to express their discontent.
From funerals to night clubs and entertainment events, a number of politicians have found the going too tough.
Kenyans have also faulted them for remaining tone-deaf to the plight of citizenry despite having President William Rutoโs ears and having been elected or appointed to serve Kenyans.
According to Susan Kihika who was heckled while reading President William Ruto’s speech, the unfortunate turn of events was part of “feedback”.
Critics opine that it is a reflection of the discontent among voters with the citizenry voicing their displeasure at the political climate in the country and general governance and policy issues that they are not in agreement with despite the government ploughing through with the same.
The new Higher Education Funding model, Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), the JKIA deal with Adani are among the issues that have faced resistance from Kenyans.
