Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has stated that President William Ruto can only leave office through another election.

Kuria made the remarks during an interview with Citizen TV on Wednesday July 10, 2024, when he said that President Ruto was elected by the people of Kenya and can only be removed from office through another election.

“Ruto didn’t come, he was elected and there is another election coming,” said Moses Kuria.

At the same time, the Public Service CS advised youth, especially Gen Z to register as voters and use their large numbers to vote in leaders of their choice in the next elections.

“People are saying Ruto must go but Ruto didn’t come, he was elected and another election is coming. The only way for Ruto to go is through the vote,” Kuria said.

According to the Kenyan constitution, the next general elections will be held in the country in August 2027.

Kuria explained that there was no need for youth to engage in violent protests that usually lead to injuries and loss of lives. 

His remarks emerged at a time when Gen Z protesters have been chanting the ‘Ruto must go’ slogan on the streets in several towns in the country and social media.

Initially, the protesters were pushing for the rejection of Finance Bill 2024, which was later withdrawn by President Ruto, who then returned it back to parliament.

However, Gen Zs decided to continue with protests despite the government meeting some of their demands.
