National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has refuted claims that he criticized former President Uhuru Kenyatta for his silence during recent protests. A viral quote card on social media falsely attributed remarks to Wetang'ula, questioning Uhuru's role as a statesman during turbulent times.

• Wetang’ula dismissed the circulating message as false and misleading propaganda intended to sow political division.
• The incident follows past questions regarding the Kenyatta family's silence on political discourse, despite Uhuru's previous call for Gen Z to fight for their rights on January 19.
• President William Ruto indirectly dismissed Uhuru's encouragement, describing it as 'inciteful', urging leaders to promote economic engagement over confrontation for Kenyan youth.
