Kenya: Uhuru Hits Back At Ruto Over Continued Blame

Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has responded to criticism from his successor, President William Ruto, who has accused Uhuru of continuing to blame his administration. Uhuru addressed this during the party leadership transition, questioning why his name was still being called four years after he transferred power. He emphasized that his administration accepted the results of the 2022 election and left peacefully, without any violence.

Uhuru stated that the political debate should focus on the present rather than dwelling on the past. He also defended his right to remain politically active, assuring his supporters that he remains a Jubilee member and intends to continue addressing issues affecting Kenyans. Uhuru urged Kenyans, especially the youth, not to be used in political battles and called for unity in organizing the Jubilee Party for future elections.
