Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticised President William Ruto's administration for allegedly allowing the tear-gassing of the Butere Girls High School students and stopping them from performing their controversial play, "Echoes of War".

In a press statement, Kalonzo on Thursday morning questioned the motive behind the government's alleged decision to stop the students from performing their play at the National Drama Festival in Nakuru County.  The Azimio leader, while expressing his support for the students, commended the learners for declining to perform after police interference, adding that the bravery displayed by the students served as a national wake-up call. "How does this regime justify lobbing tear gas at young girls from Butere Girls who declined to stage their play 'Echoes of War' at the National Drama Festival?" Kalonzo questioned.
