Raila and Ruto are hypocrites: Kenyans say after the two leaders tweeted over the arrest of 3senators.
The brutal force meted on Sen Malala,Sen Langat and Sen Lelengwe has continued receiving condemnation from leaders across the nation.
Anc boss Hon Mudavadi was the first to raise his voice perharps because Kakamega Sen Hon Malala is a member of his party.
24 hours later, Hon Raila the champion of democracy and the deputy president have joined the fray on condemning the act.
This has left Kenyans asking whether police brutality was part of the handshake package.
On Ruto’s tweet in condemning the brutal force on the trio, Kenyans have wondered why he was lamenting on social media yet he was part of the system.
Below sample the peoples reactions.
The events surrounding the arrest of senators yesterday, just like the acrimonious stalemate that has seen the Senate disagree a record nine times on sharing of revenue among counties stand as stark reminders that our struggle for a democratic state is far from finished.”
RAILA said.

When will you retire from active politics? The likes of Sakaja, Murkomen, Ledama, Malala et al have come of age! They have proved they can handle all tides. Continue burying your head in sand like the proverbial ostrich! #Team_Kenya.
On his part, the deputy president tweeted as below:-
The bipartisan Senate Committee to build WIN-WIN consensus is great wisdom and leadership.The abuse of police&criminal justice to bully citizens,threaten & intimidate leaders and now blackmail senate is WRONG.VERY WRONG. It’s NOT the reason millions woke up early to vote for us” Wrote Ruto.
The two tweets attracted wrath from netizens.

If a Whole DP can resort to complain like a toothless lumpen on social media, what is left for a common citizen with nothing to lose a part from their live? Indeed, there is a deep state system.

On the other side, Mudavadi’s prompt condemnation of the harassment of the three senators has earned him praise.
Mudavadi wrote:-
Decision-making in Parliament is achieved through persuasion and debate not brute force, intimidation, threats and arrest. Government can have its way but not through draconian means.” Mudavadi.
