Activist Kasmuel McOure has sought to absolve himself of accusations of betraying the movement against the Kenya Kwanza regime.
Kasmuel has been under fire in the recent days after his speech at the Bomas of Kenya, where the public had gathered to submit their views on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's proposed impeachment.
The self-styled revolutionist, when given the chance to speak at the Bomas auditorium, called for the ouster of the deputy president.
But his sentiment was to the chagrin of a sizeable Kenyan citizenry which expected him to call for the ouster of both Gachagua and his boss, President William Ruto.

Further, Kasmuel was faulted for failing to address the violence that goons in the auditorium meted out to another activist, Morara Kebaso, just a few moments before he grabbed the microphone.
Speaking after the events, the activist clarified that he was alive to the conversation of the moment and, therefore, chose to stay relevant to it.
"The majority of the people at Bomas were there concerning the tabled motion of Gachagua must go. I went there with that singularity of purpose, and I hope we achieve it," he said.
Further, Kasmuel clarified that his principles are not, and would never be, compromised to betray the clamour for governance change advanced by the Kenyan youth.
Pleading his innocence, the activist swore that he would not tire of using every opportunity he gets to agitate for the country's common good.
He said he was open to losing everything in the course of the fight.
"If this will cost me popularity, so be it. The Internet has never liked me anyway.
If it will cost me work, so be it. Our youth are languishing in unemployment. If it will cost me my life, I've said it time without number, so be it. I shall do my honest part and speak truth to power at any opportunity I get while advocating for a stable Kenya for all of us to thrive. Inawezekana!" he said.
Always sharply dressed, Kasmuel shot to fame at the height of the Gen Z protests in Kenya in June.
Previously, he was confined to the concert walls where he showcased his prowess in the musical instrumentals.
In the face of the fame, Kasmuel charged himself with undertaking civic education to enlighten the average Kenyan on the essence of good governance.
