Kenyan comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi has thrown down the gauntlet to President William Ruto, demanding the dismissal of all Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and heads of parastatals by Thursday, July 11, 2024.
Omondi issued the ultimatum in a passionate video message shared on his social media accounts on Monday, July 8, 2024, urging the President to take immediate action to restore the faith of Kenyans in their government.
“Mr. President, I have been told that you are a very prayerful man, this is the word of the Lord for you. Please fire all Cabinet Secretaries before Thursday. Please fire all Principal Secretaries. Please fire all parastatal heads. Kenyans have lost all faith in the government,” he declared in the video.
He announced plans to lead a peaceful protest to State House on Thursday, July 11, 2024, accompanied by a group of citizens dressed in white. The group, consisting of 100 women, 100 men, and 100 youths, aims to symbolize unity and peace.
“I will be accompanied by 100 women dressed in white, just mama mbogas. I will be accompanied by 100 men dressed in white, just boda boda riders. I will be accompanied by 100 youths, dressed in white. Please request the police to put down their guns, Mr. President. We need to talk, not on Twitter, not on TV. We will visit you at State House on Thursday at 11 am. We will come in peace, dressed in white and bearing the flag.”
