has come to President Ruto's defense, emphasizing the need for respect as discontent grows among some Kenyans over his government.

She criticized individuals who, according to her, disrespect and insult the Head of State, even in sacred places like churches.

“We must respect the President; he is like a father to this nation. When we travel abroad, people question the kind of country we come from when they hear about such behavior,” Elachi stated during the service.

The MP urged dissatisfied Kenyans to consider leaving the country if they find it unsuitable.

“Foreigners praise Kenya as a great nation, yet some citizens are always complaining. If you think Kenya is so bad, why not leave? Why stay in a place you dislike? If you remain, accept that this is your home and work towards improving it,” Elachi remarked.

She also noted how Kenyans' criticism of their leaders, especially on social media, could tarnish the country's reputation internationally.

“In places like Dar es Salaam, people wonder why Kenyans openly insult their leaders. This habit could bring harm to our nation. If we don’t uphold respect for our leaders, where will we go? Let us unite and respect the President,” she added.

Elachi's statements echo the growing calls from government allies urging Kenyans to show respect for President Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza administration despite the mounting criticism online.
