Kasmuel McOure’s pathetic downfall is a glaring neon sign exposing the delusional denialism of Kenya’s political vultures and the clueless, self-serving meddling of Western embassies in the face of the unstoppable Gen Z-led Kenyan revolution.
This fraud, who had the audacity to crown himself the voice of Gen Z, got a brutal reality check at Kasarani after the Kenya-DRC match on Sunday. A mob of enraged fans, fed up with his slimy fraternizing with the loathed Raila Odinga and, by extension, William Ruto’s corrupt regime, waylaid him and stripped him of his valuables.
It was a public shaming that screamed what Kenyans have been saying for months: McOure is a sellout, a fake revolutionary propped up by a rotten political and media machine to neuter the people’s rage.
Let’s not kid ourselves – McOure’s no leader. He’s a loudmouth opportunist who wormed his way into breakfast shows and media circuses, peddling half-baked rhetoric with zero grounding in civic education or the real issues fueling the Gen Z protests.
His “activism” is a sham, a distraction engineered by the same corrupt establishment that’s been bleeding Kenya dry for decades.
This isn’t his first humiliation – he was unceremoniously ejected from the Women’s March in November 2024 for his shady antics, yet this clown thought he could strut into Kasarani alongside Raila Odinga, banking on the public suffering from some collective amnesia. Spoiler: they didn’t.
The crowd saw through his act, and their fury was a warning to every other political stooge trying to hijack the revolution for clout or cash.
The Kenyan revolution, driven by Gen Z’s raw, unfiltered anger, is a leaderless, tribeless, and partyless beast that’s got the political class and their Western puppet-masters scrambling in panic.
Western embassies, desperate to keep their exploitative grip on Kenya, are flailing to co-opt this movement. They’ve been hosting influencers, journalists, and politicians at swanky events, from the British High Commissioner’s residence to shadowy “scholarship” deals in the U.S., all in a futile bid to tame the protests and redirect them into the same tired political channels that serve their neocolonial interests.
McOure’s cozy meetings with senior British officials last year and his so-called “scholarship” to the States are textbook examples of this desperate manipulation. The West thinks they can buy loyalty with crumbs, but they’re clueless about the movement’s ethos: “Ruto Must Go,” no compromise, no waiting for 2027.
Web sources and X posts paint a clear picture of this disconnect. A report from the mainstream media highlighted how foreign embassies have been engaging Kenyan influencers to “understand” the protests, but their real aim is control, not dialogue.
Meanwhile, X posts from accounts have called out McOure’s betrayal, accusing him of aligning with Raila and Ruto to dilute the movement’s demands. One post from @WanjikuRevolt on August 3, 2025, put it bluntly: “Kasmuel McOure is a government plant, dining with Raila while Gen Z fights for justice. Kasarani was just the start.” The sentiment online is unanimous – Kenyans are done with imposters.
Yet, the denialism runs deeper than McOure’s clown show. Kenya’s political dinosaurs – Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa, Rigathi Gachagua, Fred Matiang’i, Mukhisa Kituyi, David Maraga, Okiya Omtatah – are shamelessly posturing as the revolution’s saviors while secretly shilling for Ruto’s regime.
These opportunists, propped up by a complicit media, keep rebranding their tired parties and coining idiotic slogans like “WanTam” to trick Kenyans into believing 2027’s rigged elections will fix anything. They’re plants, pure and simple, designed to buy Ruto time and maybe even a second term.
X posts from users like @KenyaRising2025 have repeatedly exposed their game, with one viral thread detailing how Kalonzo and Karua’s “opposition” meetings suspiciously align with government talking points.
The people aren’t fooled – they’ve been screaming that these frauds don’t represent them, but the message bounces off their thick skulls.
Kenya’s lack of a mechanism like U.S. midterms means there’s no formal way for the public to check a rogue regime mid-tenure, leaving a vacuum that fuels these politicians’ delusions. They think their media airtime, hired crowds, and influencer lackeys like McOure can manufacture relevance. They’re wrong.
Kenyans are demanding impeachment and a transitional government to dismantle the corrupt system, not another round of the same electoral charade that’s delivered nothing but misery.
A 2024 survey noted that public trust in electoral processes has plummeted to historic lows, with 68% of Kenyans polled saying they believe elections are rigged. Yet, these politicians keep peddling the 2027 fantasy, ignoring the body count – over 200 killed in protests since 2024, per Human Rights Watch – while Ruto’s goons run rampant.
Western donors and diplomats are just as complicit, blindly betting on a collapsing establishment while pretending it’s business as usual. Their playbook – buying off influencers, propping up “opposition” puppets, and pushing narratives of “stability” – is falling apart.
A 2025 Al Jazeera report exposed how Western funding to Kenyan NGOs often comes with strings attached, pressuring them to align with government-friendly narratives.
X users like @TruthSeekerKE have called this out, tweeting: “The West wants to control the Gen Z revolution, but they don’t get it – it’s not for sale.” The movement’s strength lies in its rejection of these old tricks, its refusal to be boxed into political parties or co-opted by foreign cash.
McOure’s Kasarani ambush should be a wake-up call for every sellout politician and their Western backers. Kenyans see through the masquerade; these so-called opposition leaders are just extensions of Ruto’s regime, subverting the people’s will while posing as allies.
The revolution demands a complete structural and institutional overhaul to end this sham democracy, but the resistance from the elite is palpable. They know a real reset would render them irrelevant, their power and privilege wiped out.
Newsflash: you’re already irrelevant.
Listen up, you so-called opposition frauds and Western establishment clowns: every single day you prop up William Ruto’s corrupt regime, scheming to buy time and orchestrate some sham transition, you’re flushing away your last chance to genuinely engage with the Gen Z revolution.
This movement isn’t your plaything – it’s a leaderless, tribeless, partyless force demanding Ruto’s immediate ouster, a transitional government, and sweeping structural reforms to dismantle Kenya’s rotten institutions and level the playing field for political and civil service opportunities. It’s that simple.
The likes of Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, and their ilk, alongside your embassy cronies doling out “scholarships” and hosting influencers are feeding you lies about infiltrating and redirecting this tidal wave. They’re not fooling anyone.
Keep ignoring the people’s call for impeachment and systemic overhaul, and you’ll find yourselves irrelevant, swept away by a revolution that doesn’t negotiate with sellouts or their foreign puppet-masters.
In contrast to Togo’s recent protests, which fizzled out after just three days, Kenya’s movement of dissent is gaining momentum daily. Opportunists and Western embassies misinterpret the current lack of visible protests or “Ruto Must Go” chants as tacit support for President William Ruto’s administration. However, this silence does not equate to acceptance.
Instead, Kenya’s resistance is deeply rooted in a growing civic awareness, fueled by technology and social media, which has enabled Kenyans to connect their ongoing struggles to the enduring legacy of colonialism and its historical exploitation.
This awakening, long suppressed by a colonial-era educational system, religious narratives, and biased media, is now embedded in the collective consciousness, thanks to the democratization of information through algorithm-driven platforms over recent years.
Kenyans are increasingly aware of how British colonial strategies deliberately sowed division among communities to facilitate the plundering of land, resources, and labor – a tactic that persists in modern governance structures.
The movement is not just about street protests but about dismantling these toxic, polarizing barriers through sustained civic education.
Having tasted empowerment and liberty, Kenyans are resolute in rejecting a return to oppressive systems and blind obedience. The message is clear: the status quo is no longer acceptable.
The longer you cling to your delusions, the harder you’ll fall when the people’s fury catches up. Just ask McOure – he’s licking his wounds, and you’re next.
The write is a Kenyan revolutionary and son of the soil.
