Kenya: Military Chief Condemns ‘Ruto Must Go’ Slogan, Sparks Public Outrage | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Kenya’s military is facing backlash after its chief condemned the “Ruto Must Go” slogan, warning it could destabilise the country. General Charles Kahariri insisted any government removal must follow constitutional means and vowed the military would not tolerate illegal attempts to oust President William Ruto. His remarks sparked criticism, especially from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who accused Kahariri of dragging the military into politics. On social media, many defended the slogan as a constitutional right. The chant has gained traction since last year’s anti-tax protests and continues to be heard at public events. Meanwhile, Ruto’s popularity is declining, but his allies—including Raila Odinga—have distanced themselves from the movement. Watch the full report for more.
