SIAYA, Kenya Sep 15 – President William Ruto has accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of using Siaya Governor to frustrate government programmes, urging the county leadership to focus on serving residents.

📻 Breaking It Down

Speaking during his development tour of Siaya County on Tuesday, Ruto said the governor was elected to serve the people and should not be used as a political tool by former leaders.

Ruto questioned Uhuru’s ability to challenge his administration politically, arguing that the former President failed to defeat him in the 2022 General Election.

“I wonder how a person who has been President of Kenya and retired, instead of being a statesman, goes on to become a rebel leader and opposition leader. This is a shame,” Ruto said.

He urged Kenyans to evaluate political leaders based on their development record, plans and vision rather than their previous positions.

“Let’s not gamble. Let’s not play trial and error with our nation by electing individuals who have no track record, agenda, plan or vision,” he said.

The President said the Broad-Based Government, bringing together the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and Kenya Kwanza, would secure a landslide victory in the 2027 General Election.

He described the political formation as the only one with the capacity to unite the country and deliver a practical development agenda.

Ruto criticised emerging political alliances, describing some as personal or tribal formations without clear plans for Kenya.

“Our nation is too important to be left in the hands of leaders without a plan, an agenda or a vision,” he said.
