William Ruto and "Echoes of War"

President William Ruto gave a speech a few days after the damaging events at the Butere Girls and the arrest of their theater director, Cleophas Malala. What happened: https://afrikamonamour.blogspot.com/2025/04/echoes-of-war.html https://afrikamonamour.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-aftermath-of-echoes-of-war.html In his speech, he doesn't directly address what happened, but everyone knows what he really means. Ruto called on parents and teachers to protect children from people whose main goal is to corrupt them and instill in them hatred of their parents, teachers, and leaders. That's quite a bold statement! Who exactly is he referring to? Which people would those be? It can be ruled out that it's the teachers, or can it? A teacher has a mandate, which is given to them by the government. In this sense, children must be protected by the government. Ruto also said that children must be protected equally from pedophiles and drug traffickers. Drug traffickers are a favorite topic of Ruto's. Anyone he doesn't like becomes a drug trafficker. Somehow, a thought comes to mind: Duterte is known for his controversial policies, especially his "war on drugs," which claimed thousands of lives and sparked international criticism. Duterte was recently arrested by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for murder as a crime against humanity in connection with his anti-drug campaign. Ruto is really only concerned with one thing, and he also says so: preventing the corrupting influence of leaders or their nation. Ruto also assured that his government will ensure that children receive the best possible support in terms of education. He really can't mention the Butere School, where his government has demonstrated very well what he means by support. Tear gas, arrest, performance ban, ... He also wants to support all children! The government will invest massively in educational and technical facilities to develop people's potential. That would be good, but he's giving the money to the church. Apparently, there's a misunderstanding. Education is perhaps a church. That would be quite convenient for Ruto. Conclusion President Ruto essentially gave a speech that was meaningless. He wanted to justify his actions, the arrest of Malala, who, while not banned, can be identified as one of the people who have a bad influence on children. He also doesn't comment on the use of tear gas against the girls. Quite the opposite, these girls were set up against him and the government by unnamed individuals. The girls became so wild that this poor, weak police force had to use tear gas to protect themselves. In short, that was probably nothing! https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/realtime/2025-04-13-ruto-we-must-protect-kids-from-corrupt-people
