Hot off an explosive social media exchange with his baby mama, Ruth K, comedian and digital content creator Mulamwah has now waded into the planned June 25, 2025, protests, urging Kenyan youth not to fall into the trap of being recruited as hired goons.
Speaking in a video shared on his YouTube page on Monday, June 23, 2025, the entertainer raised concern over reports that some individuals were attending the demonstrations armed with weapons and clubs, a clear sign, he said, that certain elements had deliberately planned to cause chaos under the guise of protest.
“You are now seeing people coming to protests with clubs, and the clubs themselves are brand new. That means it is serious,” he said, warning that not everyone attending the demonstrations shares the same intentions.
Mulamwah further questioned the direction and clarity of the movement, stating that many people on the ground could be involved in protests without a full understanding of the cause they are supposedly standing for.
“We are in this fight, but do we actually know what we are fighting for? Because there are people who are there for very different reasons,” he said.
He pointed out that most of the current demonstrations appear to be pitting the youth against each other, cautioning against being misled and exploited by faceless planners behind the scenes.
Mulamwah urged the youth to think twice before accepting Ksh2,000 or free alcohol to assault protesters, reminding them that such handouts would not change their lives overnight.
He warned that if life was already difficult, it would remain the same—or even worsen—and passionately appealed to them to stop entertaining offers to act as goons.
“These days, the protests are just youths fighting other youths. Please, do not allow yourself to be used. Do not let someone buy you ugali and meat, or give you two thousand shillings or alcohol to go and fight during protests. That role you are taking to disrupt protests will not help you in any way. You will still return to your ghetto and sleep there. Life will still remain difficult,” he said.
Mulamwah challenged the youth to be intentional about their role in the struggle, urging them to align themselves with the true purpose of the movement, rather than falling for short-term gains.
“Make sure you are fighting for the real cause,” he said.
Message to police
The entertainer who recently apologised for his spats with Ruth K also addressed the police, calling on officers to step back into their constitutional mandate of protection, not persecution.
He criticised what he called a reversal of public trust in law enforcement, saying that Kenyans no longer view the police as a place to turn to for help.
“To the police, please make sure you protect us. You know, a while ago, if someone wronged you, you would run to the police and report, ‘so and so has done this to me. But these days, we are the ones running away from the police,” Mulamwah said.
He emphasised that the police must focus on safeguarding citizens and rooting out the actual goons, rather than turning against peaceful demonstrators.
“Your duty as police is to safeguard us, not to kill us. And to eradicate the real goons too,” he said.
Mulamwah ended his message by advising young people to think ahead — beyond the protests — and focus on the ballot as the most powerful tool for change.
“When it comes to voting, let us go in there with wisdom,” he added.
