Ruto Uses Popular Song Lyric to Silence Critics

Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto recently employed a memorable phrase from a popular Kenyan song, "Wan Waonge Wasi Wasi," during a public address. The phrase, which translates roughly to "Let those who are worried worry," served as a succinct response to his critics. The video, which has already gained traction on TikTok, highlights Ruto's use of popular culture to connect with his audience. Political analysts suggest this tactic may be aimed at boosting his image and promoting a message of unity among Kenyans. One analyst commented, "Ruto's use of the song is a clever way to engage with younger voters and convey a message of defiance against his detractors."
