In his X post, Mwangi criticize the unequal treatment of protesters in Nairobi, pointing out the contrasting police responses to pro-Ruto demonstrators and Gen Z activists.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mwangi lamented that pro-Ruto protesters were able to storm the streets of Nairobi without facing any resistance from the police.
"No teargas or bullets for paid protestors. Now you understand why the majority of Kenyans are saying #RutoMustGo," Mwangi wrote.
He tagged the National Police Service (NPS) official account, pointing out the disparity in the police's handling of different groups of protesters.
Mwangi expressed his frustration over the fact that while pro-Ruto demonstrators faced no interference, young Gen Z protesters, often armed with nothing more than smartphones and placards, are met with violence.
"NPS will not even bother paid demonstrators but a young GenZ with a smartphone carrying a placard will be beaten, abducted or worse shot dead," he added.
Mwangi's post has sparked a conversation about the perceived bias in the police force's approach to handling protests. Many Kenyans have echoed his sentiments, using the hashtag #RutoMustGo to voice their dissatisfaction with the current administration and the police's actions.
The activist's remarks come at a time of heightened political tension in Kenya, with various groups taking to the streets to protest against alleged neglect by the government to implement their demands.
Boda Boda riders stormed the streets demanding the anti-government protesters abandon their protests and give Ruto time to implement their demands.
Most of them had placards written "Let's give President time" and "Tumechoka na Gen Z" in the Nairobi CBD.
