Comedian-turned-TV show host Chipukeezy sparked controversy online with his recent comments seemingly criticizing youth-led protests over the past two weeks. In a social media post, Chipukeezy praised President Ruto and his administration for their responsiveness to public concerns, specifically citing the withdrawal of the controversial finance bill that sparked widespread protests across various counties.
He expressed concern about the direction the country is heading, cautioning against actions that could potentially harm businesses and endanger lives amidst the protests. Chipukeezy emphasized his belief in constructive engagement, highlighting the withdrawal of the finance bill as evidence that dialogue can lead to positive outcomes.
Despite anticipating backlash from online critics, Chipukeezy stood by his stance, arguing that protests risk escalating into chaos and hooliganism, regardless of their origins. He encouraged constructive participation in governance, whether through electoral processes or direct involvement in policymaking.
Critics responded by accusing Chipukeezy of aligning with the government, pointing to his close relationships with President Ruto and his team as evidence of his bias. The controversy underscored deep divisions over how best to address socio-political issues facing Kenya.
