Friday, April 11, 2025 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a scathing attack on President William Ruto's administration, accusing it of using excessive force on innocent students from Butere Girls High School following the drama surrounding their Echoes of War play.
The play, which explores themes of a Gen Z uprising against
a repressive regime, was at the center of controversy after police officers
lobbed tear gas at students during the National Drama Festivals in Nakuru on
Thursday morning.
The students had refused to perform the play and were
returning to their bus when the incident occurred.
Speaking during former President Mwai Kibaki’s memorial
service at Serena Hotel on Friday, Gachagua condemned the incident, questioning
the Government’s aggression.
“We are looking at Butere Girls and unable to understand the
viciousness against children by the present government.
“Even the colonial government spared the children,” he said.
“They have gone berserk and are now fighting shadows,
including school girls.”
“How fluid is your government if girls can bring it down?”
He criticized the Ruto administration for prioritizing
business over service, claiming, “Hii serikali ni ya biashara.”
“Watu wa intelligence, polisi, rais mwenyewe anatafuta
biashara.”
