Former Attorney General Justin Muturi has alleged that President William Ruto's administration is planning to borrow Ksh51 billion from the World Bank to prepare for the anticipated El Niño rains set to hit Kenya in October. Muturi criticized the government's response to the impending weather event, questioning the use of borrowed funds and urging the Auditor-General to oversee their allocation to benefit the population rather than political purposes.
Muturi urged the Auditor-General to monitor the use of the Ksh51 billion to ensure it aids Kenyans rather than being used for political gains. This statement follows Muturi's previous call for President Ruto to suspend his political activities and take charge of the country's El Niño preparedness efforts. Muturi warned that Kenya could face a national crisis if the government fails to act early, citing potential impacts on agriculture, healthcare, food security, and livelihoods.
He criticized the government's focus on political mobilization, urging the President to prioritize emergency preparedness over political theater.
