Bootyful socialite Vera Sidika has vehemently denied allegations that she supports President William Ruto amidst the growing protests against the Finance Bill.
In a series of impassioned social media posts, Sidika declared her steadfast opposition to Ruto, emphasizing that her disapproval dates back to 1989, the year she was born.
Sidika, known for her outspoken nature, responded to criticism that she hasn’t been vocal enough in condemning the government.
“People saying they haven’t seen me rejecting the finance bill. Yet every day I’m here posting about rejecting. I’ve been rejecting since 1989 when I was born, gosh. I’m so anti-Ruto from day one. I saw all this coming. I argued with my dad during elections. The whole family was team Baba except him. We wanted to eat him alive,” she wrote.
The socialite revealed that her aversion to Ruto was solidified during the 2007 post-election violence.
“I have never ever supported anything from this government. Just because I’m not loud and all kwa streets doesn’t mean I support him. Nah. Since 2007 post-election violence, that’s when I knew who he was and nobody could convince me otherwise.”
Sidika also shared her conflict with friends and family over political allegiances, stating that even her ex-boyfriend supported Ruto while she stood firmly against him.
She expressed a sense of vindication now that many of Ruto’s former supporters are beginning to regret their decision.
“Even my ex was supporting while I was against. Now they are seeing sense in everything I told them. If there’s anyone who’s never supported this government, it’s me. I’m so anti-government. I’m just happy people are finally seeing his true colors. Everyone that voted for him is now regretting! This one even campaigned front line,” she added.
Sidika’s posts have resonated with many Kenyans who feel disillusioned with the current administration.
She concluded with a message of unity against what she describes as a common enemy.
“When I saw people voting for him, even celebs campaigning for him, I felt sorry for them. I argued with many. I was so angry, explained everything. They thought I was crazy. Now they’re all seeing his true colors. But I’m happy they are seeing it to believe it. It’s never too late. We all have a common enemy now.”
As protests against the Finance Bill continue to intensify, Sidika’s outspoken stance adds to the growing chorus of dissenting voices in Kenya.
