The chants of “Ruto must go” at the Bomas of Kenya occurred during a public participation event related to ongoing discussions about a dialogue process between the government and opposition. The discontent expressed by some participants reflects the broader political tension and economic challenges Kenya is currently facing, including the rising cost of living and other grievances.

These sentiments are part of the ongoing political discourse in the country, where opposition leaders have been mobilizing supporters to express dissatisfaction with President William Ruto’s administration, particularly on issues like high taxes and economic hardship. The Bomas of Kenya event was intended as a forum for public engagement, but the protests signal the strong feelings many Kenyans have regarding governance and economic matters.
