Monday, July 21, 2025 - Lawyer and former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi has urged President William Ruto to take a break from public appearances.
Speaking on Monday, July 21st, Havi drew
parallels with the late President Daniel Moi, who at one point withdrew from
the public eye during a turbulent period.
“It is imperative for President William Ruto to do what Moi
did at one point.”
“Please disappear for a few weeks. Stop annoying the people
of Kenya,” Havi stated.
Havi’s criticism followed President Ruto’s remarks during a
Sunday church service in Machakos County, where he placed the burden of moral
guidance squarely on parents.
“The police are trained to deal with criminals, not to
parent children,” Ruto said, urging parents to take responsibility.
However, Havi found the comments inappropriate and asked the
President to issue a public apology.
“You cannot come on national TV, in a church, and make such
statements.”
“It is not consistent with the dignity of the Presidency,”
he said.
“These are the same children you will one day ask to vote
for you.”
“Apologize to the church, parents, and children,” Havi
added, emphasizing he was speaking as a friend with Ruto’s best interests at
heart.
