Wednesday, July
23, 2025 – President Ruto’s controversial directive urging
police to “shoot the leg” of looters during protests is now being
used in the nightlife scene by creative DJs to protest.
A viral video shows a Kenyan DJ remixing the directive live
in a club, sparking chants of “wantam” and “Ruto must go”
among revelers.
“Wantam,” slang for “one term,” is a
rallying cry urging Kenyans to vote Ruto out in the 2027 elections.
While the president’s remarks have drawn heavy backlash and
condemnation, creatives are now joining the resistance – infusing political
dissent into entertainment spaces.
Through music and satire, they’re calling out the
administration over corruption, extra-judicial killings, and abductions
targeting vocal youth.
