"Kibaki Was Worse Than Ruto" – The Take That Could Get Us Cancelled 😳

Is William Ruto really the worst president Kenya has had? 🤔 On Mashujaa Day a Citizen TV journalist was roughed up and arrested while covering the fuel-hike protests, and we ask: why would a president seeking re-election want that? Our guest says the problem runs deeper: police brutality, abductions and extrajudicial killings since 2024, and police reforms that are still not done. Then the host says the thing that could get us cancelled: Kibaki got away with far worse, and Uhuru wasn't innocent either. Is Ruto a changed man since 2025, or does he still have "no emotional intelligence"? You decide.
