🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Uhuru spoke during a Jubilee Party delegates' meeting in Kiambu on Monday, May 25, where he went on a passionate rant against UDA allies, calling out some leaders over remarks made in recent weeks.

Without mentioning names, the retired former Head of State expressed disappointment in some leaders, as he subtly slammed Ruto for allegedly turning a blind eye to some remarks made by UDA allies during a recent engagement in Mombasa last week.

"Nobody is supposed to threaten a certain community because we are all Kenyans, and God knows why we are together in this country. You should not divide us," Uhuru stated.

The former President warned that ethnic politics threatens national cohesion, accusing current leaders of lacking accountability when addressing the public.

"We have started seeing others spreading divisive ethnic politics. They don't have shame while saying these things. They are making the remarks in front of leaders of our country, and nobody tries to stop them," he added, pointing an accusing finger to Ruto for failing to caution Omar after his remarks.

Uhuru's remarks come at a time UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar is facing criticism over his remarks in Mombasa last week during President Ruto's tour of the coast region.

Omar is accused of making remarks linked to ethnic politics directed towards the Mount Kenya community, and his sustained attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta, remarks that were widely seen as likely to cause chaos in the country ahead of the 2027 elections.

"It's not that we lack knowledge. We have been struggling while you oppressed us as we watched. We have no problem with anyone, but you can't always show us arrogance and pride. We also went to school; we are not stupid or lazy," Omar stated in part during a rally.
