Murugi spoke about the issue after noticing that many social media users bring up her vote whenever she comments on matters related to governance or national issues.
According to Murugi, some people often flood her comment section and direct messages with remarks about her decision to vote for William Ruto during the 2022 election. She said the issue usually comes up whenever she shares her opinion on government performance or public matters.
Responding to the criticism, Murugi said she is not the only Kenyan who voted for the current president. She asked critics to stop using her past vote to silence her views.
Her comments quickly sparked reactions online, with some Kenyans saying citizens should still be free to question leaders regardless of who they supported during elections.
Others, however, argued that public figures who openly supported certain candidates should also be ready to face criticism because of the influence they have on their followers.
The discussion reflects a common debate on Kenyan social media, where political choices made during elections are sometimes used to judge people who later comment on government policies.
Even so, many Kenyans believe that voting for a leader does not remove a citizen’s right to express their opinion about national matters.
Murugi’s response highlights the ongoing conversation about political accountability and freedom of expression in the country, especially on social media platforms where public figures often face strong reactions from followers.
For Murugi, the message was clear. She believes that making a choice during an election should not prevent someone from speaking about issues affecting the country.
