Ruto’s ‘Shoot Looters’ Directive Inspires Viral ‘Risasi Ya Mguu’ Dance Among Gen Z
President Ruto told police to shoot looters in the legs during protests and treat them in hospital and later charge them in court. He said this is to protect businesses and maintain peace.
He also warned politicians funding the protests that they will be held accountable. While the statement sparked national debate, Gen Z responded in their own style — with creativity and humor.
A trending video on social media shows a new song titled “Risasi Ya Mguu” (Swahili for “bullet to the leg”) with a now-viral dance.
At a Zetech University event, students were seen having fun. With an MC hyping the crowd, the song played as students limped to the beat.
What is the “Risasi Ya Mguu” Dance?
The dance is a synchronized limping to the song, with students clearly enjoying themselves and turning satire into self-expression.
Online reactions:
- @wahukagwi : I heard Gen Z are only afraid of hot porridge.
- @kingsley_kenya : So Mr William didn’t know we knew one lege.
- @aesthetic.slav : What do Gen Z fear again?
- @dr.steann_promotions : Turns out, Mr. William was sleeping on us. Nothing but love for my country! Gen Z, stand up!
- @1st__achero : That’s why I love my country.
- @the_patrick_m : Ruto and his crew don’t believe.
- @nash_ivyonne : Our school is well represented.
What started as a presidential directive has turned into a pop culture moment — again showing how Gen Z Kenyans turn tension into trending content.
