William Ruto, who ascended to the presidency amidst hopes and dreams from the Kenyan populace, now stands at the helm of historic criticism. Many Kenyans are dubbing him as their most disliked leader ever, questioning how the fury directed at him never came for presidents like Daniel arap Moi, known for years of harsh rule and abuse of power.
Recent protests have turned violent, leading to significant casualties, reflecting a deep-seated frustration that transcends ethnic and class boundaries. Calls for Ruto’s resignation have echoed across social media, showcasing a collective voice of dissent among the populace. The young citizens’ insistence on unity against ethnic divisions emphasizes a significant shift in Kenya's socio-political landscape.
With a promise of lifting the lives of ordinary Kenyans, Ruto aimed to represent the common man; however, increasing disillusionment has emerged as economic pressures and high taxes take their toll. While Ruto has claimed progress with policies targeting housing and healthcare, citizens feel left behind, fueling the discontent that mobilizes protests.
Political analysts suggest this widespread dissent is unprecedented and reflects deeper societal issues. Critics argue the government’s response, often violent, has only exacerbated public anger. The narrative of disappointment resonates strongly, as citizens grapple with unmet expectations and the realities of rising living costs.
The dynamics of public sentiment, echoing cries of "Ruto must go," present a political scene where many Kenyans are demanding immediate reform and accountability. As the country faces increasing turmoil, the question remains: can Ruto turn the tides or will he go down in history as Kenya's most unpopular president?
