Comedian Wilson Muirania, popularly known as Jaymo ule Msee, has called out President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, asking them to concentrate on the work they were elected to do.
In a statement posted on his social media pages, the comedian argued that the two leaders promised to change the lives of the youth when they were re-elected in 2017, but were now engaging in cheap theatrics.
He asked the two leaders to sort out their issues behind a closed-door meeting and avoid washing their dirty linen in public.
"I come to you as a young Kenyan who supported you and campaigned to have you lead us! Kindly spare us the drama festivals that you are subjecting us to while serving in the same Government," wrote the comedian.
"Stop these antics and tactics that are dividing the many young Kenyans that woke up to vote for you."
He warned that the back and forth between the two leaders was dangerous for the country and specifically the youth, who were keenly watching them.
"Whether for politics or anything, whatever is happening in this country championed by your foot soldiers is very dangerous."
"Stop all this nonsense and concentrate on the work Kenyans gave you. If the youth cause fracas in 2022, remember that you are still customers of the International Criminal Court (ICC)," he concluded.
The President and his deputy have been at loggerheads since the March 2018 handshake between the Head of State and his long-time political rival turned supporter, Raila Odinga.
The relationship between the Kenyatta and Ruto has taken many twists and turns, with both antagonizing delivery of their agenda.
The DP remains an active leader of the Jubilee Party, which he and the President formed ahead of the 2017 presidential election. He has, however, been accused of informally joining the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
On a number of occasions, the DP has stated that the relationship between him and the president was good until the two were elected for a second term and a handshake between the President and Odinga happened.
Recently, the president accused the DP of failing to support his unity agenda and starting his succession campaign early.
The DP will be on the presidential ticket in 2022 while speculations are rife that Odinga will also vie for the seat.
