Wetang’ula Responds To Claims Of His Uhuru Criticism
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has denied blaming former President Uhuru Kenyatta for his silence during the ongoing Gen Z-led rallies and public anger.
This comes after a quote card circulated on social media, claiming that Wetang’ula had criticized the previous Head of State for failing to speak out on the country’s present political and economic circumstances.
According to the viral letter, Wetang’ula questioned why Uhuru, as the last surviving former president, had not taken on the role of a statesman to provide counsel amid challenging times.
However, Wetang’ula denied making such remarks, describing the statement as inaccurate and deceptive.
He advised the audience to view the message as propaganda intended to cause political divisiveness.
Political analysts and observers have recently questioned the Kenyatta family’s silence on the country’s political conversation.
The family has only emerged at regular intervals to deliver cryptic messages to the nation, particularly the youth.
On January 19, the former President urged Generation Z to continue fighting for their rights, just two months after a symbolic ‘handshake’ with President William Ruto.
While addressing at the funeral of his cousin, veteran rally driver Kibathi Muigai, Uhuru expressed concern about the growing influence of Kenyan youth in political discourse.
Uhuru, who has refrained from publicly speaking about politics since leaving office in 2022, urged the youth to continue fighting for their rights.

“The problem with people nowadays is that they are afraid. Gen Zs are the story of the future. Fight for your rights. Fight to ensure you are getting what is rightfully yours,” he urged.

He went on to add, “Don’t stand and watch as your wealth is taken from you. Everything is worth fighting for. If you do not fight for it, don’t cry if it is taken away.”
Two days later, when speaking at an interdenominational prayer service at Cheptais High School in Bungoma County, President William Ruto tacitly condemned Uhuru’s calls to the young, calling them ‘inciteful’.
“Our young people deserve the best from us. Let us not pit our children against each other. These young Kenyans do not need violence or confrontation,” Ruto stated.
The Head of State went on to say that authorities should take up the issue of encouraging young people to engage in meaningful economic activity rather than inciting them.
