Uhuru Was a Drunkard, but No One Called for His Ouster, Mutai Says as He Alleges What Youths Want

The crowd was left in disbelief after a bold political remark dragged former drinking habits and Kenya’s youth crisis into the same conversation, igniting fresh debate across social media and beyond.

During his remarks, Erick Mutai made a controversial statement, claiming that former President Uhuru Kenyatta "used to drink Chrome like me," while arguing that no one demanded that Kenyatta leave office over it. He then shifted focus to the country’s struggling youth, insisting that what young people need most are jobs rather than confrontations on the streets.

The comments quickly sparked reactions online, with supporters praising the message as a call for economic empowerment instead of unrest. Others, however, questioned the comparison and debated whether such remarks help or inflame the country’s already heated political atmosphere.

Mutai’s statement also touched on the growing frustration among many young Kenyans who continue to demand better opportunities amid rising economic pressure. His words suggested that employment and development should take priority over demonstrations and highway confrontations, a message that has divided opinion.

Many were left questioning what happens next as political conversations continue to shift toward the concerns of unemployed youth and the direction of national leadership. His statement stunned supporters and critics alike, with many interpreting it as both a political defense and a challenge to those pushing for change through protests.

As the debate spreads across digital platforms, one thing is becoming clear: a single controversial statement can reopen old political arguments and force the country to confront uncomfortable questions about leadership, accountability, and the future of Kenya’s young generation.
