If you believe Kenya is a bad country, leave! – Elachi tells Ruto critics

On Sunday, Ruto attended a church service in Dagoretti North, where legislators took to the pulpit to condemn the President’s critics. 

Here, Dagoretti North Member of Parliament Beatrice Elachi castigated those ‘disrespecting the Head of State’, even insulting him in churches. 

“We must respect the president; he is our father. When you go abroad they wonder which country we come from,” Elachi said. 

The Dagoretti North legislator went on to rebuke Ruto’s critics, urging them to leave Kenya if dissatisfied. 

“Those coming (foreigners) say Kenya is a good country…. but Kenyans are there complaining and not going away. If Kenya is bad why not leave, what are you doing here at a bad place, disappear. If you can not leave then know this is your country and there is no where else you can go,” Elachi stated. 

“If you go to Dar Es Salam they say Kenyans insult their leaders…they are coming to ruin our country. Where will you go? Let us respect the President.” 

Elachi’s sentiments come amid growing calls for respect to the Head of State. The calls have mostly targeted social media users who have been expressing displeasure with the Head of State and his Kenya Kwanza administration.
