The Perils of Political Transformation: William Ruto's Journey from "Opposition" to Power

In the theatre of political dynamics, there exists a recurring narrative where figures ascend to prominence by vociferously opposing a prevailing order, only to embody the very principles they once denounced. This phenomenon, starkly observable in contemporary Kenyan politics, reveals a troubling trend that transcends mere political theatre, implicating fundamental issues of governance, integrity, and national identity. The Ruto Paradox: From Anti-State Capture to the Heart of Power William Ruto’s rise to political prominence was rooted in a fervent opposition to the concept of “deep state” and systemic state capture. His campaign resonated with many Kenyans disillusioned by entrenched corruption and elite manipulation. Ruto positioned himself as the champion of the ordinary citizen, a beacon of reform against the opaque machinations of entrenched power. However, upon assuming office, the very principles that propelled Ruto to power seemed to erode. His administration, initially celebr...

BREAKING NEWS: Budgeted Corruption: How Kenya Lost KSh 408 Million in One Day as William Ruto Bribed the 13th Parliament to Vote Yes to Finance Bill 2024



In a move that has induced vomit in the mouths of many Kenyans, at once causing both shock and outrage, revelations have emerged that members of the 13th parliament, the worst, most corrupt, and certainly most inept in the 60-year history of this nation, were bribed with a pitiful KSh 2 million each to vote in favour of the controversial Finance Bill 2024 last Thursday.
This egregious act of corruption, amounting to KSh 408 million in total, highlights the desperate lengths to which President William Ruto will go to pass a bill widely regarded as draconian and harmful to the public.

A Day of Infamy
On Sunday June 23, 2024, Juja MP George Koimburi dropped a bombshell at the AIPCA Ndururumo Church, revealing that legislators were offered money to ensure Satan's bill's passage.

Koimburi, who voted against the bill, stated, "We were offered money...you saw how they carried money in sacks. We were told that for every yes vote, we would receive KSh 2 million."

The Bill from Satan
Dubbed by many as "Satan's Bill," the Finance Bill 2024 has sparked nationwide protests, with Kenyans taking to the streets in what has been christened #7DaysOfRage.
The bill, which proposes several tax increases amidst an already high cost of living and previous tax hikes by Ruto's administration, is seen as an instrument of oppression designed to squeeze the last drops of blood from an already struggling populace.

The IMF and World Bank Connection
Disturbingly, it has come to light that the bill was not crafted by Ruto's administration but was instead wholly conceptualised and written by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

This revelation has fuelled speculation that President Ruto has sold out Kenya's sovereignty to the global elite in exchange for personal and political gain. The influence of these entities in domestic policy, bypassing any meaningful input from Kenyan leaders, has not gone unnoticed by the public.
The Cost of Corruption
The accusations of bribery have added another layer to the growing resentment against Ruto and his bill from Satan. With MPs pocketing KSh 2 million each, the total cost of this corruption stands at KSh 408 million—a staggering amount that could have been used to address the very issues the bill purports to solve. Instead, it has gone into the pockets of greedy jUDAs politicians willing to sell their integrity and the future of their nation for a meagre payday.

The People Fight Back
Kenyan youth, already disenfranchised and frustrated by economic hardships, have been at the forefront of the protests. Their message is clear: they are beyond the talking stage; they will not be silenced or bribed. Oh, and #RutoMustGo
The #7DaysOfRage, #TotalShutdownKE, 
#OccupyParliament, #RejectFinanceBill2024 and #OccupyStateHouse protests, initially planned for seven days, have now extended into #8DaysOfRage, with plans to occupy IMF and World Bank offices in Nairobi. This extension is a direct response to the revelations of external influence and the blatant bribery of their supposed representatives.
A Government in Crisis
President Ruto's administration, already marred by allegations of corruption and ineptitude, faces a crisis of legitimacy. The government's heavy-handed response to protests—marked by police brutality and the abduction of activists—has only intensified the public's resolve.
Juja MP Koimburi's warning is chilling: "If this bill passes, the youth may burn the country."
His words underscore the critical nature of the moment and the potential for widespread unrest if the government continues to ignore the will of the people.

The Call to Action
Kenyans have had enough. The passage of the Finance Bill 2024 is a stark symbol of a government disconnected from its people and beholden to foreign interests. The public outcry against this bill is not just about economic policy; it is a fight for the soul and sovereignty of the nation.
As the protests enter the MOAP (Mother Of All Protests - 1 million Kenyans are expected to spontaneously materialise on the streets) stage today, the message to President Ruto and his cronies is unequivocal: the people of Kenya will not be silenced, bribed, or oppressed. The struggle continues, and the stakes could not be higher.
In an era where the integrity of democratic institutions is under siege, the people of Kenya stand as a beacon of resistance.

The Finance Bill 2024, a product of foreign influence and domestic corruption, must be rejected in its entirety.
The public has spoken, and it is time for the Ruto government to listen or face the dire consequences of its actions. As 1 million Kenyans march into the streets today, the rallying call, the message to William Ruto, is singular and unambiguous:
The fight for justice, transparency, and true representation continues—by force, by fire.
