🇰🇪 #RutoMustGo Trends as Kenyans Protest on Independence Day
The hashtag #RutoMustGo gained traction on Kenya's Independence Day, known as Jamhuri Day, as an expression of dissatisfaction with President Ruto's administration.
Several Kenyans expressed frustration over the leadership of Ruto on social media while he presided over celebrations at Uhuru Gardens under the theme of jobs, entrepreneurship, and migration. Several hashtags also referred to broader grievances, such as the abuse of protest leaders by security forces during anti-government protests earlier in the year, as reported by Human Rights Watch.
Ruto, however, dismissed the criticism during his speech, urging citizens to disregard "reckless negativity" and false information intended to discredit the government.
