National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has dismissed reports suggesting that he took a swipe at former President Uhuru Kenyatta over his silence amid the ongoing Gen Z-led protests and public discontent.

This follows the circulation of a quote card on social media alleging that Wetang'ula had criticised the former Head of State for failing to speak out on the current political and economic climate in the country.

The viral message claimed that Wetang'ula had questioned why Uhuru, being the only surviving former president, had not taken up the role of a statesman to offer guidance during turbulent times.

Wetang'ula, however, refuted having made such remarks, terming the statement as false and misleading.
