The Sunday Interview: Exposing the Real William Samoei Ruto

 The Sunday interview with President William Samoei Ruto, watched by countless Kenyans worldwide, revealed the truth about his leadership at a critical time for the nation. In a detailed breakdown, it becomes clear that the interview exposed Ruto's true character—one marked by anger, vengeance, and a lack of empathy for the struggles of ordinary Kenyans. The vast audience of over half a million viewers watching the live stream confirmed the widespread desire for change in Kenya, with many feeling the urgent need for the president to step down.

Journalists Lus Skai, Eric Latiff, and Joe Agil, through their well-researched, probing questions, were heroes in this interview. Their efforts unveiled Ruto’s dismissive attitude toward pressing issues such as the deaths of innocent Kenyans, police brutality, and the abduction of opposition figures. Ruto’s cold and detached responses, especially regarding the tragic case of a 12-year-old boy shot by police, left many viewers disheartened. His failure to acknowledge the human cost of violence or offer genuine sympathy highlighted the disconnect between the president and the suffering of the Kenyan people.

The president's defense of controversial actions, like the arrest of Alfred Ker, and his insistence on an "independent" police force despite evidence to the contrary, further eroded trust in his leadership. The interview, instead of humanizing Ruto, magnified his flaws, increasing public anger and making his position more untenable.

In the aftermath, Kenyans on social media and beyond expressed heightened frustration, confirming that the interview only deepened their disdain for the president. This may very well speed up the call for his exit from power, signaling that Kenyans are ready for change. As the nation faces unprecedented challenges, the weight of judgment and scrutiny grows heavier on those in power.
