"If Parliament lacks the courage to do the right thing, then let Kenyans prepare to correct this mistake in 2027," he said.
Former Attorney General Justin Muturi described the current administration as rogue and lawless, saying it is unthinkable that a government meant to protect lives had turned its guns on its own citizens.
"We have reached a dangerous point where the State has become the predator, not the protector. Boniface was not a criminal, he was a Kenyan youth with dreams, gunned down by a system that now fears its own people," he said.
Muturi expressed frustration with Parliament's inaction, accusing MPs and senators of failing the people by allowing executive excesses to go unchecked. He said if Kenya had an effective legislature, the President would already be behind bars.
"The silence of Parliament in the face of these killings is shameful. It suggests complicity or cowardice. If the institutions of justice are captured, then the people must rise and reclaim them," he added.
Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata called Boniface's death a painful lesson that Kenya's youth are dangerously exposed and insufficiently protected, adding that the government was losing touch with the very generation it needed to empower, warning that unless drastic action was taken, the country was headed towards disaster.
"The government is failing the youth, and that failure is killing them - literally. Boniface was not just another protester; he was a symbol of a generation crying out to be seen, heard, and respected," Kang'ata said.
He said the economic system was failing the youth and called for a complete policy overhaul.
"We must move from bullets to business, from teargas to technology. The youth of this country need jobs, not coffins," he said.
Naivasha MP Jane Kihara, once a close ally of President Ruto, said Boniface's killing marked a dark chapter in Kenya's democratic history.
"I supported the President because I believed in his vision. But now, what we are witnessing is a total disregard for the sanctity of life and for the voices of the people who raised him to power," she said.
Former Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau accused the President of sanctioning extrajudicial killings. He said Boniface's death was not an accident but a consequence of deliberate orders passed down the chain of command.
Embakasi North MP James Gakuya said the government had lost its moral compass. He pointed fingers at both Ruto and Raila Odinga, claiming both had become comfortable in power and detached from the plight of the people.
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah said the country was witnessing a terrifying militarisation of civilian space.
Democratic Action Party leader Eugene Wamalwa called for a complete rejection of Ruto's leadership.
