National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has once again led supporters in chanting President William Ruto's popular "Tutam" slogan, despite a recent court order that has placed the phrase at the center of legal and political debate.
The latest incident occurred during a public event, where Wetang'ula joined supporters in repeating the slogan, drawing immediate reactions from both government allies and critics.
The chant has become closely associated with President Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration, featuring prominently at political rallies and public gatherings. However, its continued use has attracted legal scrutiny following a court ruling touching on the slogan.
Wetang'ula's decision to repeat the chant is likely to fuel fresh debate over compliance with court directives and the role of political leaders in respecting judicial decisions. Supporters argue the slogan remains a political expression, while critics say public officials should exercise caution where court orders are concerned.
Neither Wetang'ula nor the Office of the Speaker immediately commented on the latest incident. It also remains unclear whether any legal action will follow.
The development comes amid heightened political activity as parties continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election, with slogans, rallies and public messaging increasingly becoming part of the broader political contest.
Legal experts are expected to weigh in on whether the latest incident has any implications under the existing court order, while political observers say the controversy is likely to keep the "Tutam" slogan in the national spotlight.
Editor's Note: This article is based on reports that Wetang'ula repeated the slogan despite a court order. The precise scope and legal effect of that order should be confirmed through the official court ruling.
