Kasmuel Mcoure courageous Message to President Ruto.

Political activist Kasmuel Mcoure criticized President William Ruto’s recent decision to dismiss the Cabinet, accusing him of having acted in self-interest to protect his own position within the government.

During the recent anti-government protests, Kasmuel became a leading activist, encouraging Kenyan protesters to strongly oppose both the Finance Bill, which has since been withdrawn, and the Kenya Kwanza government.

While speaking on Citizen TV, Kasmuel criticized President Ruto for sparing Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs CS Musalia Mudavadi from dismissal, and he further argued that the position of head minister had been unconstitutional.

“The president might have fired his entire cabinet, but he still maintains the unconstitutional position of the office of the Prime CS, and this is a blatant attempt at self-preservation. I do not think of this as a move of goodwill because I wouldn’t sit here and applaud a fish for swimming,” Kasmuel said.

He went on to say that if the president had wanted to do the right thing, he would have done so. Mcoure also indicated that this marked the beginning of a new political environment unfolding.

“If the President wanted to do the right thing, the President would have done the right thing, and this is the beginning of a manifestation of a new political environment to which we can’t wait to see how it will play out.”

Kasmuel Mcoure criticizes President Ruto’s approach to Kenya’s youth revolution.

Mcoure criticized President Ruto for treating the recent youth-led political revolution in Kenya as insignificant, alleging that the head of state continuously consulted clergy and political elites instead of directly engaging with young people.

“There is a sinister nature to the political class where he (Ruto) has said he will consult widely, both in public and in private, and the president has shown an affinity to love to consult the clergy and the political class in public but consult the youth in private,” he said.

He continued by stating that the president was not elected to listen but to lead a functional government, which he had shown he was not interested in running. McOure pointed out several cases of corruption and other serious constitutional violations that people in dismissed positions were getting away with.

Mcoure criticizes President Ruto’s unpreparedness at the X Space Dialogue.

Kasmuel criticized the head of state for appearing unprepared during the discussion, despite having earlier claimed readiness for dialogue.

“The X Space was a very disrespectful and knee-jerk move because if you say that you are going to appear at a place at 2pm as a President who has all the money, technology, and intelligence at your disposal and try to posture… I think it was a very deliberate psychological move where the President was posturing as an old amiable figure that “I do not know how to use this technology” and you see how shaky the camera was,” said Mcoure.

He continued by expressing doubt that the president was acting sincerely, noting that when he joined the X Space session, he was expected to listen rather than summon participants, as X Space was their forum.

“I do not think the President was doing this from a point of honesty. He came to the X space, and he was supposed to join as a listener. He does not summon us because what we do on the X spaces are our barazas.”

Mcoure calls for transparency and integrity in New Cabinet Appointment.

Kasmuel urged President Ruto to appoint a transparent and functional cabinet, free from any political scandals, when naming the new cabinet.

“We still do not know the names that are going to come out, but part of the suggestions we are making as Kenyans is that we do not want to see the faces of people who have tarnished names. I am very weary of trusting the president with regards to this move,” he said.
