Esther Akoth Kokeyo popularly known as Akothee has written to President William Ruto asking him to stop ignoring the cries of Kenyan citizens as the country is currently in despair following the Saba Saba protests and previous protests in the country over the last few weeks.

” I come to you as a voice for many women, parents, and entrepreneurs who are watching the country slip into fear, despair, and uncertainty. Kenya has taken a different shape. The streets carry tension. The air is heavy with grief. And both the family unit and the business environment are under siege.” Akothee states.

Following the Saba Saba protests thon Monday July 7, 2025 the country experienced loss of lives, destruction of property, unrest and fear due to the insecurity in the country leaving a mark in the lives of Kenyans.

“Your Excellency, Kenyans are no longer just crying out for change , they are crying out for safety. For stability. For understanding. They are asking for a leadership that listens, and a country where their children can go to school without disruption. A country where businesses can open their doors without fear of looting or lockdowns. A country where families don’t have to bury their loved ones because of bullets or beatings.”She laments.

The self proclaimed president of single mothers expressed her opinions towards President Ruto voicing on behalf of many women,parents,and entrepreneurs who are watching the country slip into fear, despair and uncertainty as Kenya has taken a different route.

“Mr. President, we cannot preach war and at the same time ask the world to come and visit us in peace. We cannot brand Kenya as a tourist destination when the world sees burning streets and bleeding youth. Tourism is struggling, the economy is hurting, and the hope of our people is slowly fading.”

“Your Excellency, this is not about blame. It is about responsibility collective, shared responsibility. When we pull against each other, we all lose. Kenya loses.I am humbly requesting for your audience ,not just for myself, but for all mothers, for parents, and for our youth. Give us a platform to speak, to share, to dialogue. Give us a date at State House , first as mothers, then as parents, then with the youth. Open the door. Let us reason together.”Akothee says.
