These words were very direct and many people quickly started guessing who the President was talking about. Even if he did not mention the name, the message sounded like it was aimed at a known leader.
Because of that, social media became very busy, with people sharing opinions and trying to connect the statement to different politicians.
In simple meaning, the President was trying to say that some leaders depend too much on things they were given. He was saying that instead of enjoying what was left by others, a person should wake up, work hard, build his own home, and start his own family life in a proper way.
The message was about standing on your own feet and not depending on someone else’s life.Some Kenyans supported the President and said he was speaking the truth in a bold way.
They said leadership needs people who can build from zero and not those who are just inheriting power or benefits. To them, Ruto was encouraging hard work and personal responsibility.
But other Kenyans were not happy with the words. They said the President should avoid speaking in a way that sounds like he is attacking someone’s personal life. They felt the message was too personal and not respectful, especially coming from the head of state.
Right now, politics in Kenya is very hot. Leaders are speaking with strong emotions, and sometimes their words become personal instead of focusing on development.
Many citizens are now asking leaders to reduce insults and focus on real issues like high cost of living, lack of jobs, and daily struggles people are facing.
Even with all the mixed reactions, one thing is clear. The President’s statement has added more fire in the political talk. People are now waiting to see if the person being talked about will respond or stay quiet.
As all this continues, Kenyans are watching closely, because every word from leaders now carries a big meaning and can easily change the political mood in the country.
