The screen showed our President using harsh, crude words during a political rally. Those words were not just attacks on opponents. They were loud, rude, and unfit for the leader of our nation.
Children look up to the President. He should be a model of respect, wisdom, and calm speech. Instead, that day, they heard language that made me turn away in embarrassment.
How do I explain to them that the highest office in Kenya speaks like this? Words from a leader shape the country. They teach young people how to talk, argue, and lead.
When those words are angry and low, they hurt more than politics. They damage trust and hope.
I have always taught my children to choose words with care. To respect others, even in disagreement.
Now, the President’s outburst makes that lesson harder. It feels like the example from the top is the opposite.
Mr. President, this is not about one rally or one fight. It is about the future. My children and all Kenya's young people deserve better. They deserve a leader whose speech lifts the nation, not drags it down.
On this matter, an apology is needed. Not for politics, but for decency. Say sorry to the children watching. Restore the dignity we expect from State House. Our kids are listening. They remember.
