KISUMU, Kenya Aug 24 – Interior and National Administration Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has challenged opposition leaders seeking to unseat President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election to account for their record in public service and tell Kenyans what they have achieved.

📻 Breaking It Down

Speaking in Homa Bay during a consultative meeting with grassroots mobilisers supporting civic education, Omollo said voters should scrutinise the track record and plans of every candidate seeking an elective position, from Members of County Assembly to the presidency.

“Even if you want to be an MCA, MP, women representative, Senator, Governor or even President of this country, you must tell Kenyans what you have done before and what you intend to do,” Omollo said.

The PS said Ruto had raised the bar for leadership through development projects being implemented by his administration, urging voters to compare the President’s record with that of politicians seeking to replace him.

📌 What You Need to Know

Omollo singled out former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Siaya Governor James Orengo, questioning their contribution to the country after years in public service.

“Take the case of Kalonzo Musyoka, what has he done for Kenyans all this time he has led this country in different categories?” he asked.

He also challenged Orengo to account for his record in Siaya before seeking to influence political opinion in neighbouring counties.

“If you look at James Orengo, the Governor of Siaya, he was first elected into public office even before I was born. Can he first tell us what he has done in Siaya?” Omollo said.

His remarks come as opposition leaders intensify mobilisation and political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.

Omollo also criticised Suba South MP Caroli Omondi over his opposition to Ruto’s re-election bid, saying the legislator had a right to hold a different political position but should base his criticism on facts.
