Duale: You Cannot Do A Regime Change Through Twitter Space

Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has defended the youths (Gen Zs) from allegations they are behind the ‘Ruto must go’ slogan.

According to Duale, the slogan being propagated on social media is sponsored by a group of politicians from the opposition.

“It is the traditional group of people who have not recovered and who cannot wait for 2027 and they even feel because Baba (Raila Odinga) is going to AU, they have no chance in 2027,” he said.

He noted that the Gen Zs raised valid and vital points which the president has since addressed.

Speaking during a TV interview Wednesday night, the CS claimed that the proponents are a cabal who tried to stop Ruto from being the president and are now trying hard to detract him.

“They are the same people who were saying before the elections Ruto will not become the President and they have not recovered from that Ruto is now the President and he is changing the country,” Duale told Citizen Tv.

He, however, assured them that Ruto is firmly in control noting a regime change cannot be done on a “Twitter space”.

Aden Duale: You cannot do a regime change through Twitter space. I think the Gen Zs have been hijacked, they said they are tribe less and leaderless. Are Boniface Mwangi, Babu Owino, Sifuna, Kalonzo Musyoka, Kioni and Wamalwa Gen Z? #JKLive @KoinangeJeff pic.twitter.com/ZnI8XHiG7d

Following the withdrawal of Finance Bill, 2024 due to the widespread protests, the chants have now shifted to leadership.

What began as demonstrations against proposed tax measures have morphed into anti-Ruto slogans.

Destruction and looting have been witnessed in various parts of the country.
