Ruto's X Space a must-attend for all Cabinet Secretaries, Gov’t bodies and employees

President William Ruto's X Space appears to be a must-attend for anyone who works for the government, as revelations show that all the Cabinet Secretaries and almost all government parastatals will be in attendance.

The Space, which the President hopes will be his avenue to engage with the Gen Z directly and listen to their plight, is slated to go down on Friday from 2pm to 5pm, despite widespread resistance from thousands of Kenyans.

Various governmental bodies have already rallied their followers to join the Space, some, surprisingly, including entities which have traditionally stayed away from day-to-day government policies.

The Kenya Forest Service, for instance, took to X to hype up the Space, tweeting, "#LetsEngage. #JoinTheConversation."

The Kenya Metreological Department, yet another surprising entrant, joined in too, tweeting, "Tune in today from 2-5PM EAT! His Excellency President @WilliamsRuto will be live on @XSpaces, engaging with Kenyans."

Almost every ministry in the Ruto administration, too, has been going on overdrive, reminding Kenyans to join the President's Space, with the hopes of shoring up numbers and creating the perfect quorum for the Head of State.

 The ministries of Trade, Defence, Youth Affairs, ICT, Transport, Lands and more, either through their official  X account or via the CSs in charge, have all posted or retweeted the President's Space announcement, all appearing to repeat the same clarion call, "Come, let us reason together."

A now viral screenshot doing rounds online, which Citizen Digital cannot independently confirm, appears to show a conversation in the official government communications WhatsApp group, urging the members to rally everyone around the Space.

The text reads: "Good evening colleagues, take note of this presidential event happening tomorrow and plan to attend. Mobilize the SM Teams in your Sagas to join in plus the staff, interns and attaches in your Public Communication departments."

Already, a tweet from the President's X account appears to show that he will be the host. It reads, "#EngageThePresident . At 2PM."

Reacting to the developments, one X user said, "Yaani wewe ndio host? So you've basically organised a little tea party for you and your boys and now want us to join and watch you toast? LOL! Get lost!"

Already, a section of Kenyans on X have vowed to massively boycott the President's Space, instead preferring to host their own parallel Space to counter the Head of State’s own engagement.
