Prophecy Comes True? What Ruto Did at Nyayo Stadium in 2022 That Has Come to Pass

Renowned musician and social activist Reuben Kigame has launched a scathing attack on President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of presiding over the killing of more than 100 young Kenyans who protested against high taxes. 

Kigame’s remarks come amid renewed government pledges to lower taxes, a move he says is politically motivated ahead of the next general election.

Speaking out in a strongly worded statement today, Kigame said it was deeply troubling for the government to promise tax relief after violently suppressing citizens who had earlier demanded the same reforms. 

He argued that young people took to the streets to express genuine economic frustration, only to be met with force instead of dialogue.

Kigame questioned the sincerity of the administration’s sudden shift in tone, saying the promise to reduce taxes appears designed to secure votes rather than address justice and accountability. 

According to him, lowering taxes without acknowledging past actions amounts to ignoring the pain of families who lost loved ones during the protests.

He further warned Kenyans against normalizing political violence, stressing that leadership should be built on respect for human life and constitutional freedoms. 

Kigame insisted that those responsible for the deaths of protesters must not be allowed to find their way into the next government.

The activist also called on civil society, religious leaders, and the international community to continue demanding accountability for victims of protest-related violence. 

He said true economic reform cannot exist without justice, transparency, and respect for human rights.
