Former Vice President of Kenya, Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, has announced it is time for the current president of the country, William Ruto, to be removed following the killing of eight young protesters demonstrating against the controversial finance bill 2024.
Musoka said this in speech “RUTO HAS CROSSED THE RUBICON. RUTO MUST GO!” during a press briefing on Tuesday and shared on X.
He strongly condemned the killings and demanded the immediate release of the arrested youths by the police.
“If it wasn’t already evident, everyone should know that the catastrophe that is The Finance Bill, 2024, has resulted in a generational awakening.
“There is no turning back since Generation Z will no longer sit back. We respect the courage that the protesters are displaying in exercising their constitutional right to peaceably assemble, demonstrate, and picket.

“This is despite the security apparatus’s frightening and coercive measures. We also strongly condemn the Gestapo/SS-like hijackings and abductions of the perceived Gen Z protest leaders by the police.
“We demand that all the abductees be immediately released unconditionally. We are at a crossroads in the history of our country. Kenyans tool over Parliament Buildings demanding that their leaders heed their voices. Unfortunately security officials followed them inside and attacked them. The police fatally shot several demonstrators and media personnel.
“This was done in broad daylight in front of and inside Parliament, in full view of the Media. We therefore call for the Inspector General of Police Mr Koome to resign forthwith for failing to protect the lives and property. Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza regime have crossed the red line.
“He has crossed the Rubicon and Kenyans are not turning back. Ruto must resign immediately. The people of Kenya have passed a Vote of No Confidence against him. #RutoMustGoHome!” the speech read.
