Betrayal or Strategy? Kasmuel’s Shocking Alliance with President Ruto

by Chief Okuzo

In the theater of Kenya’s political drama, few characters have captivated and confounded the nation like Kasmuel McOure. To his close family and friends, Kasmuel is a virtuous man, deserving of honor. But to most Kenyans, he has become the face of betrayal—a stark reminder of how ambition and money can unveil one’s true colors.

If the photos of Kasmuel with President Ruto could speak, they would scream betrayal. To many, those images painted him as the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, a man who sold his values for fleeting power. Once the eloquent activist whose three-piece suits and fiery speeches inspired the youth, Kasmuel now stands accused of cozying up to the government he once railed against.

Kasmuel’s rise to prominence was meteoric. Before the Gen Z protests, he was just another talented but overlooked musician, a member of Kaskazini, whose brief spotlight in Sauti Sol’s Extravaganza faded quickly. Four years later, amid Kenya’s growing discontent with its leadership, Kasmuel found his stage in the streets, his sharp tongue and stylish demeanor transforming him into a symbol of resistance. His speeches dismantled government policies with surgical precision, and his charisma earned him comparisons to icons like Tom Mboya and Martin Luther King Jr.

But fame is a double-edged sword, and cracks in Kasmuel’s armor began to show. Whispers of opportunism and clout-chasing followed him. Critics, like rapper Prezzo, questioned how a man so vocal could juggle endless TV interviews with actual activism. Yet, for every detractor, Kasmuel had an army of defenders, ready to shield their hero from even the slightest criticism.

Then came the fateful protests and the mysterious abductions of influential figures. When Kasmuel’s turn came, his alleged kidnapping raised eyebrows. Was it a government crackdown, or a self-orchestrated ploy for sympathy? The doubts lingered, but his star power dimmed little—until photos surfaced of him mingling with government allies like Silvanus Osoro.

For Kenyans, this was the ultimate betrayal. Kasmuel, the man who had once condemned the government for its oppressive tactics, was now seen dining with the enemy. The fallout was swift and brutal. His endorsement of Raila Odinga, at a time when Raila was publicly aligned with President Ruto, further sealed his fate in the court of public opinion.

Kenyans, once united in their support for Kasmuel, turned against him. His appearances at protests were met with hostility, and his name became synonymous with treachery. By year’s end, photos of him shaking hands with President Ruto confirmed the public’s worst fears—that Kasmuel had abandoned his ideals for power and proximity to influence.

Still, Kasmuel remains unbowed. “The enemy is bad leadership,” he asserts, justifying his alliances as necessary for his ultimate goal of ascending to power. To his critics, he is a sellout; to his defenders, a strategist. But to the nation, Kasmuel McOure is a tragic figure—a man whose journey from hero to pariah reflects the complexities of Kenyan politics and the cost of ambition.
