What Kind of President Tells Security Forces to Shoot Youth? It’s Time for a Change
What kind of president issues orders to shoot youth—but not kill them? “Shoot them in the legs, let them bleed, send them to the hospital, and then let them await trial.” These chilling words are not from a leader; they’re from a rogue. A bandit president, someone who has no regard for human life or dignity. If it was your son or daughter, would you still speak like this? Would you still be indifferent if these lives were close to you? It’s a chilling reality when the leader of a nation dehumanizes its youth—your youth.
Imagine a president who, instead of steering the country toward peace and prosperity, directs violence at its most vulnerable members. What kind of man says, “shoot them, but don’t kill them”? Would a truly caring president issue such orders? Would someone who has the nation’s best interest at heart send armed forces to maim unarmed youth, leaving them to bleed on the streets, while the world watches?
This is the reality under the current administration. A president who should be safeguarding the rights of every Kenyan, regardless of their background, has instead become a perpetrator of violence against his own people. He has chosen to harm rather than protect. What kind of a person tells security officers to shoot unarmed youth, simply for protesting their government? How can you, as a Kenyan citizen, trust a leader who orders his forces to inflict pain and suffering on innocent people? His actions speak volumes about his disdain for the very people he swore to protect.
A Nation Under Siege: The Cost of Indifference
But what about the parents? What about the communities? Do their feelings not matter? Are the lives of their children less valuable? Can anyone truly watch such a leader in action and remain silent? This isn’t just about one man; it’s about the kind of country we want to live in. A country where the leaders see their people as mere pawns in a cruel game, dispensable and expendable for the sake of power and control.
We’ve heard the empty promises. Year after year, leaders vow to create a better Kenya—one where the youth can flourish, where education, healthcare, and infrastructure are priorities. But what do we have now? Crumbling hospitals, overcrowded classrooms, and dilapidated roads. What happened to the hope of a better future? What happened to the promises made to the youth? If the president can’t even see the worth of his own people, can he truly lead a nation?
The Betrayal: Where Is the Outrage?
Where is the Senate? Where is Parliament? Where are the MPs? Where is the toothless NCIC? They have all become members of Ruto’s puppet show.They have been bought to be silent. That is the sad part.Why is there no outrage? Why are these institutions of power so silent in the face of such blatant disregard for human life? The time has come for action. The time has come for this rogue leader to face consequences for his actions. It’s time for impeachment. It’s time to remove a man who has shown time and again that he lacks the ability, the empathy, and the respect needed to lead a nation.
You may ask, “What if we’re stuck with him? What if there’s no way out?” But the truth is, this man is not the only one who can lead. His arrogance, cruelty, and lack of leadership are clear. This is not the kind of leadership Kenya needs or deserves. We deserve better. We deserve a president who understands the value of life, who leads with compassion and justice. We deserve a president who inspires hope, not fear.
A Call to Action: Stand for a Better Kenya
When you look at the damage this president has already caused, it’s clear: he is not fit for office. His tenure has been marked by divisiveness, cruelty, and corruption. What kind of leader orders the shooting of his own citizens? What kind of man calls for bleeding youth to be left to die slowly? What does that say about his character—and the future of Kenya under his rule?
The damage he’s done will outlast his time in office. The pain, the division, and the distrust he has fostered will remain for generations. This is a man who thrives on control, not on serving the people. And if we allow this to continue, we are complicit in the destruction of Kenya’s future.
It’s Time for a Change
Kenya cannot move forward under the shadow of this leadership. It’s time to demand better. It’s time to reclaim our nation from a president who treats his own people as expendable. We need a leader who values life, who understands the importance of unity and compassion. A leader who can bring people together, not tear them apart.
So, what will you do? Will you stand by and watch as this rogue president continues to destroy the promise of Kenya? Or will you take a stand for a better future? The choice is yours.
