In 2010, American pop artist Pink recorded a song titled Dear Mr President which was a direct criticism of the then President George W. Bush.
Kenyans seem to be following in her footsteps. On Friday, innumerable Kenyans decided to remind President Uhuru Kenyatta on what is going wrong in Kenya.
Pink’s song is very critical and provoking of what was happening back then in the US just the same way Kenyans are reminding the president of his failed promises.
Kenyans, especially the youth, have criticized the head of state on several areas of his administration including the unemployment, runaway corruption and perceived lack of compassion for poor and middle-class citizens.
SPORTPESA AND BETIN
At least two companies -SportPesa and Betin- have fired all their employees after shutting down their operations in Kenya citing unfair tax regimes.
Here is what Kenyans had to say:
#DearPresidentUhuru please intervene for the family at Likoni to get assistance. If there are able divers from abroad please let them be allowed to retrieve the bodies for that family to get closure please please please

#DearPresidentUhuru.The big question we Kenyans need to ask ourselves is whether we are angry enough with the current state of leadership in this nation.If the answer is yes then we need to go to the streets for a huge march that will see all the corrupt leaders jailed for life

#DearPresidentUhuru I voted for you twice in 2017 and I admit this was one of my greatest regret you not only failed me but all the Kenyan youths who hoped for a better Kenya under your leadership. @WilliamsRuto.

#DearPresidentUhuru What happened to the millions of jobs you promised the youth of this country 10 years ago? Records from the registrar of companies paint a dim picture, over 100 companies have shut down since January 2019!

#DearPresidentUhuru are you still in control?

You seem so comfortable despite the mess that is your government.
