Some leaders have condemned the recent deployment of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to peaceful protesters as witnessed in Nairobi last week.

Kitui Senator Enock Wambua said deploying KDF personnel to the highways to suppress protesters is wrong as their job is to protect Kenyan borders from external aggression.

Wambua said it was sad to see defence forces sent to counter protesters whore are only carrying placards and twigs.

The Kitui senator added that President Ruto should let the military stay in the barracks and call for a conversation to know where the problem is.

“Kenya as a country is at a crossroads and this has been brought by the bad leadership of the Kenya Kwanza government. As Azimio, we warned him on the way to run the government and he ignored us,” Wambua said on Saturday.

“Religious leaders, professional bodies and ambassadors talked to Ruto he gave a deaf ear and now he has met with youth who don’t care about tribalism, political parties, or religious divisions.”

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko said Generation Z is the solution to the Kenya Kwanza government, which he described as corrupt.

Sonko added that those around President Ruto are misadvising and misleading him to introduce punitive taxes to the already burdened Kenyan population.

“Gen Z will be the end of conmanship in Kenya,” Sonko said.

He strongly condemned the killing of the demonstrators and warned killer police officers of charges at the International Criminal Court.

The leaders spoke at the Kamba customary wedding of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s daughter Saada Kalonzo in Yatta, Machakos County.
