Monday, October 21, 2024 – There was drama during the 61st celebrations
of Mashujaa day in Juja when patriotic citizens turned wild and heckled as
President William Ruto’s speech was being read.
Everything was rolling on
smoothly until the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) stood to read a speech from
President William Ruto.
Juja DCC, who was tasked with
delivering the speech, met a hostile audience who started jeering immediately after he began reading the president’s speech.
Irate residents, both young and
old, heckled as the DCC took the stage to deliver the speech on behalf of the Head
of State.
Some attendees stood up, ignored
the speech, and walked around.
The noises built up into chants
of “Ruto Must Go” which were sung in unison drowning the voice of the Deputy
County Commissioner who was trying to subdue the growing noise with the use of
a public address system.
The commotion was so intense
that it forced the official to abandon delivering the speech.
Juja’s Deputy County
Commissioner (DCC) was the latest leader to be met with public uproar against
President Ruto’s regime.
People have seemingly resorted
to booing leaders representing the president in public events, a trend that is
on the rise.
The widespread heckling against
leaders comes on the backdrop of the impeachment of the embattled Deputy
President Rigathi Gachagua coupled with dissatisfaction with the trajectory the
country is taking.
