Thursday, July 10, 2025 - President William Ruto’s controversial order to police to shoot looters in the leg during demonstrations has inspired a wave of creative protest on social media.
Speaking on July 9th at the launch of a police housing project in Kilimani, Ruto said, “Anyone who burns down someone else’s business… let them be shot in the leg and go to hospital on their way to court.”
“Don’t kill - just break their legs.”
The bold directive quickly set social
media ablaze.
Kenyans, known for their sharp wit and
creativity, have responded with biting satire.
AI-generated images of citizens in
crutches and wheelchairs flooded timelines, symbolizing the chilling
implications of the order.
In a bold twist, some even reimagined
the UDA party symbol - swapping the famous wheelbarrow for a wheelchair.
The memes are more than humor; they’re
a statement of resistance through art and irony.
