Good morning,
Recently, President William Ruto’s rallies have been marred with rowdy crowds with heckling and jeering now becoming a common occurrence as he traverses the country.
Over the weekend, Ruto was forced to lecture agitated Bomet residents who were heckling the county governor, Hillary Barchok.
The Head of State fiercely warned that he would not tolerate anyone heckling during his rally and stated that anyone unimpressed by their leader should wait for the upcoming election to vote them out instead of booing them.
This comes just a few weeks after a section of Kiambu residents heckled Thika Town MP Alice Ng’ang’a during Ruto’s rally.
His deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, was forced to intervene as he asserted that it was shameful that the residents were heckling in the presence of a president while likening Ruto to a king.
A couple of weeks before the Kiambu rally, the Head of State also found it rough in Meru and had to tell off the youthful lot saying heckling and demonstrations were a preserve of the Azimio coalition that was not going to be entertained at his functions.
Now that these ugly scenes are being witnessed across the country, what do you think the President’s entourage has to do to curb them?
