Drama Erupts as Students Reject Ruto Speech During Chuka University Briefing
A tense moment unfolded at Chuka University in Kenya when a speech inspired by President William Ruto’s rhetoric was met with outright rejection during a political briefing. The speech, which was being delivered as part of a manifesto by a student aspiring for a leadership position in the university’s student council, turned chaotic when the audience erupted into chants of “Ruto must go!”
The event, initially intended to be a platform for candidates to outline their plans, quickly spiraled out of control. The aspirant, known for his vocal support of the current administration, adopted President Ruto’s signature phrases in his manifesto. However, this approach did not sit well with the crowd.
As the student spoke passionately about his vision, referencing the “hustler spirit” and promising economic empowerment for the student body, murmurs began to ripple through the audience. Within minutes, the murmurs grew into loud jeers, with some students standing up and shouting, “Hii si manifesto, ni propaganda!” (This isn’t a manifesto, it’s propaganda!).
The situation escalated further as groups of students began chanting “Ruto must go!” disrupting the proceedings entirely. The aspirant attempted to regain control by appealing for calm, but his efforts were drowned out by the growing chorus of dissent.
Witnesses described the atmosphere as electric, with emotions running high. One student remarked, “We came to hear solutions for our issues, not recycled political speeches. We’re tired!”
The commotion eventually drew the attention of university security, who struggled to contain the unrest. As tensions threatened to boil over, local police were called to intervene. Officers arrived promptly and managed to restore order, dispersing the crowd and ensuring the safety of the aspirant, who had to be escorted from the venue under heavy security.
The incident has sparked widespread debate within the university community, with some applauding the students for rejecting what they perceived as political mimicry, while others criticized the disruption as disrespectful and counterproductive.
The aspirant later issued a statement, defending his approach and emphasizing his intention to inspire hope among students using relatable themes. “My goal was to show that we, too, can achieve greatness if we embrace the hustler mindset,” he said.
The waves of #RutoMustGo has entered Chuka University via the front door.
