Kenyans have expressed their disappointments after one Azimio affiliated Member of Parliament asked President William Ruto to move with speed and deal with Gen Zs just like President Museveni of Uganda.
The Jubilee Party and Sirisia MP John Waluke has found himself on the receiving end after asking President Ruto to deal ruthlessly to Gen Zs same way President Museveni is dealing with protesters in Uganda.

Speaking at his home constituency on Monday, in a video that has since gone viral, Waluke dismissed the ongoing demonstrations across the country, terming them destructive and backward.
According to Waluke, the protests are clearly sponsored by Non Governmental Organisations to cause anarchy in the country and it’s time for President Ruto to force an end to it.
“I agree with Ruto that it is time to put an end to these Gen Zs protests. All the demands that they had, Ruto listened to them. As MPs who voted yes, we are happy that Raila has joined Ruto to protect this country. I saw Museveni warning the youth in Uganda. We want Ruto to be like that.”
Terming the protesters as criminals mungiki and paid goons, the MP said that he will support ruthless action by President William Ruto to prevent the country from anarchy and ensure peace is restored in the country.
“We support Ruto in stopping these Gen Zs protests because lives are being lost and property destroyed. Why are NGOs silent when a police officer is killed? The police are our brothers and sisters. These Gen Zs are criminals.”
Waluke has however encountered fierce criticism, most of which accuse him of not being on a moral authority to label anyone a criminal over his history and scandalous career.
