This guy is a national embarrassment
Tulieni mulimchagua.
Couldn't agree more
Kuwa na adabu..Respect the President.
Ruto is the joker in cards
This guy is just a conman...busy crying to international community for loans,whereas he enriches on the same.Talks alot but very clueless
when you elect clowns expect circus. dear international community as a Kenyan this guy here is the master of deception. he has mastered the art of deceipt. the situation is terrible the government is no where to be seen and no state of emergency declared. don'tfor a second fall for his sweet words. he is Ruto he always has something good to say.
Hearing this, and there are still trapped people in mud slides with no action yet from the government, this makes me cry
They could still be alive! Think of the Turkey earthquakes. The government was recovering living people and animals even a week later. He is now focused of using force against citizens in other areas rather than using the military/police to recover fellow Kenyans. He probably didn't get many votes from the Mai Mahiu area so he doesn't care.
Civilians are trapped and exhausted with children in tow and this President is still prodding them to move away from the crisis zones. They can't even hear him because they're cut off from accessing the media and other types of communications.
A circus of a leader.
This guy has a degree in lying.
What did he lie about?
What is the lie?
PHD
Tone deaf. The voice of incompetence. When there are protests,the government resources to counter them are very visible. When disaster hits,the silence of the Kenyan government is deafening. Sheer incompetence.
Remember how the police killed peopled children in the Maandamanos
This is the biggest mistake Kenyans made
Wakikuyu sio wakenya
@@simonomolo1016 sote ni wakenya. We made a mistake.
@@simonomolo1016 Kyuks and Kales
No one chose him , they take it by force. 😅
This is the most careless president Kenya has ever had. He only cares about getting loans from World Bank and IMF but nothing on the ground to show whta the money is doing. Money maniac president. If COVID-19 came to Kenya now, am telling you, we can die like dogs while he traveles looking for loans to eat.
Covid billionares😂😂😂
My president is not careless please
On point bro 👏👏
Exactly 💯
Ukiangalia vizuri utadhani ako seriois.
Look at william ruto's history bro is a scammer, murderer, and thief he is a selfish person who only cares about himself this is my opinion
keep it to yourself
You are dam right
Declare national disaster wacha "tumetenga" mingi Mr!
AFter declaring national disaster, THEN WHAT?
OK. Ame declare national disaster at 12:00 P.M. on May 1st, 2024.
What happens at 12:01 P.M. the same day, 1:00 P.M. of the same day, 11:59 P.M. of the same day and then, May 2nd, third, fifth ..e.t.c.?
The whole point is to mobilise resources OPTIMALLY whether a national disaster has been declared or not.
Old school PR😂😂
What will that help
@@Acherryoat Kenya is run by wazungus.. so hopefully tukiwika 'mwizi' watakuja kusaidia
The guy is a serial liar, everything he says, take it with a pinch of salt, at your own risk, that is
shetani hako class hapa kwa uongo
The first lady said we go the rains through prayer,let her stop the rains through the same means.
Wolf in sheep clothing ...wat an evil govt anyway everyman 4 himself God 4 us all
He thinks he is still campaigning. People are losing their lives.
This guy is the real Michael jackson so you guys can sing along
wtf does this even mean??
Lusungu mingi, nothing on ground......
😂😂
It's sad for our president to lie to international media, yet he has done nothing to assist Kenyans. We miss our former president Uhuru kenyatta so much this man is heartless
can you please highlight some instances that Uhuru responded to tragedies better? its not time to express hate but to work together. there will be time for politics but not when people are under traggedy
I agree with you I miss our former President What we have now is a Joker who hides behind the church
@@StephenMumbwani dude,if covid would have hit us now under this godly regime, you all will be typing from sayuni.
huyo mwizi abaki ichaweri
What did he lie about?
What is the lie?
Ruto will always lie. Stop housing project and re-direct it to other emergency
Save the talk unaeza andika novel tutasoma ukitoka 2027. Talk less act more.
😂 best advice ever
He has a very smooth tongue😂
Hii Kenya ingekua mbali kama si corruption na funds mismanagement.
Whats the solution to corruption for the next 50 years so kenya progresses to second world?
I did not take home anything he said... true story
ANYONE BELIEVES WHAT HE SAYING?
The emergency disaster money is allocated just for emergencies. Where is the counties' emergency fund?
The government was alerted heavy rains were coming, but...
He doesn't have a clue despite growing from a humble background.
You v
Can think he was born with a silver spoon!
Exactly his background seems to have limited his mental abilities
West puppet 😂
whatever you promised kenyans during the election period you have not done what makes Kenyan thing mr Ruto will do what he promise to deal with floods???? KENYANS ON THEIR OWN
Food prices came down and especially maize flour.
That is a fact.
Fuel also came down and is on a downward trend.
He did al lthat without useless subsidies unlike his predecessor who brought subsidies and in the process, tax payers money was stolen. Most of the subsidies were political. They were for the sole purpose of electing the kitendawili man.
here we go again
Wereld can the ordinary People go to??? To move away from the floods is easier sait than done, mister president
He is William ruto he knows what to say
PR government
Ruto in his true element - all talk, and effectively EMPTY talk. Kenyans are on the ground. Instead of focusing on preparedness, he is busy preparing for post-flood reaction, on how to burry the dead and promise free lands for the affected...bla bla bla... Hopeless and regrettable!
Prezzo anadaganya BBC na Wanakubali enyewe hii inchi haina future na hawa leaders. Wanajipenda Sana si they sell Bunge tower there luxurious offices and Gyms and Saunas wafund Kenya's,kenya has selfish leaders,si muimbie wananchi hata kazi ya mwananchi hamfanyi when will this end.
Instead of wasting time watching this better , watch take my time to pray for my kenyan people.
This one needs delivarance from the spirit of lies
Aki Ruto kwa nini wadanganya BBC umesaidia 😢nani yani wewe unadanganya kwa broad daylight kama hatuchungi tutashindwa na nchi zingine Afrika Mashariki Nkt😒😒😡
Ruto. Man is READY for those RELIEF FUNDS!!!!!!!
Reclaiming a nation from Colonial clerks is Pinnacle of Ruto's Success. Despite his Weaknesses the guy deserves respect what he is doing isn't easy. We must be patient to fulfill this dream together from affordable Housing and self dependency...
Sorry, but taxing everyone so that a few can enjoy congested apartments is not the way to self dependency. If you have to rely on the government to take money from others, you are, in fact, DEPENDENT on the government and others.
This guy smh he should take that money he got for Haiti military deployment and help Kenya instead. It’s all about money in their pockets anyway
He will send police to Haiti, but he won't send police to help the victims.
He speaks intelligent but he has no wisdom.
Good speakers tend to be poor leaders
He's like the serpent that told Eve to "do as you please." 🐍
The guy is a serial liar, everything he says, take it with a pinch of salt, at your own risk
Kimenyi
Mr President, lam very sorry for what you are going through. The problem you have caused to yourself is the wrong and dishonest people you appointed to assist you manage our beautiful Country.
To Kenyans, for the sake our Country please let us continue Praying to the almighty God ,stay calm, keep peace, love and Unity . 🙏🙏
Too much noise and nothing to show government.......it is so draining listening to noise makers
May God help our Africa - Kenya and President Ruto and his team 🙏🏾
Ruto needs to repent and ask for forgiveness from Jesus Christ. How do you think God feels when he sees Ruto dressed like a Muslim and making posts about Allah? What did God of the Old Testament do to people who worshipped false gods?
Totally out of depth,man has absolutely failed to rise to the occasion
He lost relevance when he has no one to argue with ,.. Kenyans realized too late fellow Kenyans did deliver 100%.
😂😂😂let's wait and see
Was this a case of cloud seeding?
All these rains that caused floods are unusual. Similar to what happened in Dubai due to cloud seeding- which is not a secret.
@14:00 yeah sure. meetings solve flooding problems
😢😢
Impeach this guy.
Waaa, no medical supplies, food supplies, no drinking water for the victims. Certainly not the time to blame the victims. We must not ask toddlers and the elderly to "move to higher grounds" they're already surrounded by water, maybe helicopter airlift would make the move possible, right?
aki am seeing a new tax bill being put in place to deal with the after effects of the floods.💀💀
Kamasi
Sad affair - lost cause but good 3 Kenyans for their irresponsibly
Worse than Moi.
This guy is a total curse to our great nation. Too mouthy with no doing. He shouldn't have been given even a village chief position
Tired of these scripted response. They are not offering ANY help.
Leading the charge from choppers. Send military and their equipment!
I blame central Kenya for voting for this selfish man overwhelmingly 😮
Why do the same ryoes of people, keep getting into power?!?
Dj Kata na ma PR in the building,
master of yappology
My boy get some rafts and life jackets out there at least Geesh. What about shelters do they have that for ppl to go to
The devil himself, budget food items where....Mr lexus
Cloud seeding/weather modification gone wrong?
There was no response to defend
bla bla bla bla. while someone's cows are being swept away
Now he will be forcibly moving Kenyans from their land if they're near a flood plain. What's going to happen to their livestock when they're gone and what dump is Ruto going to move the people to and for how long?
Appropriations have to be accounted for, just not as a percentage pivot.. We need Visionary Leadership that we are not getting right now. How do the People Get in formed from the Government. Its all about Words . Ah People with no Vision will perish. Kenyans let us get ourselves the needed Leadership that we Deserve.. And Not What we Currently Have..
I think the gvt he is talking about is in utopia
Global/nature disaster is it his fault?
Nonsense!!
Continue pointing this this this instead of helping each other where you can!!
HE DOESN'T CARE,STOP ASKING HIM,ITS EMBARRASSING, KENYANS ARE SUFFERING, KENYANS ARE CRYING, WHAT PLANS ,WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT,..MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ARE ON STUCK ON ROOFS ,KIDS HAVE NO FOOD,..
HE IS NIT TELLING THE TRUTH,..MAY GOD REMEMBER KENYA.
Ona huyu mwizii..
He doesn't care about saving lives he is eyeing funds for reconstruction after the disaster who cares if kids are stuck in their houses? where are the rescue boats and helicopters? overloading of equipment that is privately owned is none o the government's business. Where is the equipment bought by Kenyan taxpayers sitting in the navy and military barracks?
This is Kenya's problem.
Maybe even Satan is always in shock by how Ruto has perfected the art of deception, if it wasn't for red cross death tolls from flooding would have been 1000 plus.
Mr ruto with alot talks, he seems to be serious about issues, but nothing is delivered into action, no wonder its this convincing talk that put as on trap!!
Kenyans just see other African nations they are suffering too because of floods
A sweet speaking fool
Mr narcissistic...
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah Wapi usaidizi kwa ground don't blame counties Just cordinate with them .Borrow a leaf from our former president on COVID they convened a National & County Meeting to coordinate efforts .
Lies lies lies lies lies!
Aziminions Weeping 🤣
President ni jukumuwako kusngalia wakenya wote kushinda kilakitu ushuru pekee ndio gavament anaangalia watu atapoteza uhai mali kilakitu ata gavamet kuonekanawee
this guy is crazy he dont know what is saying
f'IN WITH kk GOAVAMENMT IS LIKE f'IN WITH STDS WHILE HOPING FOR THE BEST
That's my president 🇰🇪💚
Cartoon in action
Nice one Mr.President.
Nice lies Mr President
He is a serial liar and will never take responsibility. He will never admit he is wrong. Kenya is doomed! And he wants 14 years. Greediest most evil person in History.
Well articulated! A discussion with a team to mitigate the disaster is key, good governance! we hope the right measures under discussion will be implemented sooner. Citizens have a right to be protected with good governance. We've lost lives 😢
Who trusts BBC?
Useless president
William Ruto( President of Kenya) is the greatest 🖤. Haiti 🇭🇹 and Kenya are historical family unit. Haiti 🇭🇹 and the African Union must join forces in March 2026. I love Africa 🌍 🇧🇯 🖤. Great video.
Haitians and Kenyans don't even speak the same language. What are you talking about? Wait until the Kenyan police are in Haiti bribing, killing and beating people like they do in Kenya.
so useless.satan can take classes from this guy when it comes to lying..
This man is a joke
