Kenyan Politicians React to Viral Memes: A Mix of Humor and Political Tension Kenya is buzzing with activity as the 2027 election cycle begins. Recently, a wave of online memes targeting prominent figures has sparked a range of reactions. This report examines the responses of President William Ruto, former Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi, and MP Oscar Sudi, revealing a fascinating blend of humor and political maneuvering. President Ruto, known for his public appearances, seemed to take the memes in stride. "The trending, I enjoyed. That was very good," he remarked during a recent speech. This lighthearted response contrasts sharply with the more critical commentary by others. Justin Muturi, in a recent interview, expressed a different sentiment, highlighting a perceived lack of communication from the President. "Ruto stopped picking my calls after the funeral of Lenny Kivuti's son. We haven't spoken since, and I don't miss it," he stated, adding a layer of personal tension to the political landscape. On the other hand, MP Oscar Sudi offered a more pointed rebuke, suggesting that Muturi should move on. "Men don't miss each other," Sudi retorted, adding a further dimension to the ongoing political discourse. Amidst this backdrop of political sparring, the video also features Peter Salasya's announcement of his presidential bid, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming elections. Salasya's campaign, with its unique approach, is already making waves, indicating a potentially dynamic political race.
