A section of Members of County Assemblies (MCA) allied to Kenya Kwanza have backed President William Ruto’s decision to end the ongoing Nationwide demonstrations led by Gen Z.
In a statement released on Monday, the MCAs stated that government supporters also had the right to protest and protect the government if the planned protests were not called off.
“No one has the monopoly of violence and supporters of Government can also opt to mobilise and come out into the streets to defend it. This would only lead to escalation of the situation,” stated the UDA MCAs.
The leaders further told off protestors stating that they were presenting unreasonable demands to the government which needed to cease.
“Unreasonable demands on the President and the Government must cease, especially where the demands have neither a constitutional or legal basis,” stated the MCAs.
Further, the MCAs added that should any Kenyan feel that the government did not properly serve them, they could address their dissatisfaction during the 2027 general elections.
The MCAs have continued to call for an end to the violence that has been witnessed against businesses which they termed as being perpetrated under the disguise of peaceful protests.
Moreover, the MCAs stated that they were championing the rule of law through the constitution which allowed a change of government through legal means.
“It is also critical to repeat that Kenya is a democracy in high standing and it has no place for criminal and unconstitutional change of government,” read the statement in part.
They further called for the President to form a Cabinet that will address the challenges facing Kenyans.
The MCAs statement comes after President William Ruto stated on Sunday that going forward he will ”protect the nation” citing that he had already given everybody a chance to air their views.
The President who spoke in Bomet County after attending a church service, told Gen Z that ”enough is enough”.
