Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has slammed President William Ruto following his State of the Nation address.

In a statement via X on Friday, July 5 Kalonzo questioned why President Ruto claimed to have started the conversation on issues.

“Ruto like Voldemort and Pinocchio, has no sense of shame. Surely, how can you possibly claim to have started the issue conversation ati four years ago?” Kalonzo posed.

The former vice president urged President Ruto to take responsibility for the deaths of Kenyans during the protests and those who suffered injuries.

Kalonzo also asked the Head of State to fire the Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome.

“Also, take full responsibility for the 41 deaths and hundreds of injuries suffered by peaceful Gen Z protesters and sack Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome now,” Kalonzo stated.

Speaking on Friday at State House Nairobi President Ruto said the nation was finally discussing issues that affect the country instead of political formations, personalities, and tribes.

“If you go back to my Twitter account I made a commitment to the country in 2019, and 2020 that the conversation in Kenya is going to change it is not going to be about personalities, positions, or tribes, it is going to be about issues. Today that situation is true that we are having a conversation about issues in our country,” Ruto stated.
