Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) Chairman Irungu Nyakera has urged the populace to avoid leading Kenya in the direction of failed states as they continue exercising their democratic rights.
Nyakera insisted that Kenyans should not allow the country to reach a point where the global online community starts the conversation of "pray for Kenya."
KEMSA chairman warning
He warned that while online conversations, especially on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), continue, other countries enjoy their normal operations.
"As we exercise our democratic rights, let’s ensure we never get to a place where people tweet 'Pray For Kenya.' Their tweets end there, and their lives continue unabated," he posted on his X account.
Nyakera reminded the public that the country has the chance to choose leaders every five years.
He lauded the public for questioning wastage and corruption, stating that these actions are what will change the country.
"Our elections come every 5 years, and we make decisions on who leads us at that juncture. I love that we have now normalized questioning wastage, corruption, and demanding accountability—that’s what will bring change to this country.
"But I do not support any actions that would drive our country to the list of failed states. And no sane mind should," he concluded.
KEMSA chairman reaction
His words come at a time when the country witnessed strong disapproval of the Finance Bill 2024 by the youth, which led to President William Ruto rejecting signing it.
The youth have also been pushing against budget allocations, especially regarding the State House, the Office of the Deputy President, and residence renovations.
The demonstrations continued on Thursday as the youth pushed for President William Ruto to vacate office.
