Kasmuel McOure’s open letter to President Ruto has gone viral, sparking a national debate on broken promises and youth disillusionment.
On April 29, 2025, 30-year-old Kasmuel McOure posted an open letter to President William Ruto via Facebook. The letter fiercely criticized:
- Youth unemployment
- Rising cost of living
- Elite economic dominance
“What is the price of loyalty in a land where truth is costly and sycophancy is rewarded?” McOure wrote.
It coincided with the third anniversary of the Kenya Kwanza government, sparking massive online traction and nationwide debate.
McOure was praised by many:
“He speaks what we’re all thinking,” posted a user on X.
But others criticized the letter for being:
- Emotionally driven
- Lacking policy alternatives
- Possibly a stunt to launch a political career
Still, McOure’s independent voice resonates with a frustrated generation.
“Post-2017 taught me that silence is expensive,” he once said.
This letter marks his most high-profile activism to date.
McOure says he voted for Ruto’s “Hustler Nation” in 2022. Now, he feels betrayed.
“We didn’t dethrone dynasties—we installed new oligarchs.”
His disappointment echoes among millions of youth still jobless and struggling under high inflation and shrinking opportunities.
McOure isn’t just calling out politicians—he’s challenging Kenya’s entire elite structure.
“This is not just a letter. It’s a demand for new political thinking—from below.”
The question is: will Kenya’s institutions listen?
McOure’s future is uncertain, but the moment is real.
The youth are watching. They’re frustrated. And now, they’re speaking up.
