Ruto to Opposition: ‘I Will Deal With You’
Ruto accused Former President Uhuru of using proxies to destabilise his administration, while defending his development agenda.
Nairobi, Kenya - President William Ruto has intensified his criticism of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing unnamed political adversaries of funding opposition leaders in a bid to undermine his administration before the 2027 general election. During a church service in Likuyani, Ruto alleged that Kenyatta was supporting rivals such as Senator Edwin Sifuna and other opposition figures with financial backing.
Ruto stated that he intends to confront these individuals, declaring, "I will deal with you." The President emphasized his administration's commitment to eradicating tribalism, hatred, and discrimination, vowing to distribute development projects uniformly throughout the nation. Ruto challenged Kenyatta to fund the politicians he allegedly sponsors, claiming they rely on ordinary Kenyans to finance their political activities.
He added, "Those who were accustomed to planning inequality in our nation are angry with me because I insisted on equality across Kenya." Ruto reiterated that his government would not be swayed by political opponents who lack innovative ideas for Kenya. He assured Kenyans that development projects would reach every part of the country, citing affordable housing projects in Nairobi and road construction as examples.
Additionally, funds have been allocated for the construction and equipping of a County Aggregation Centre in Likuyani to support farmers and strengthen agricultural value chains. Ruto urged Kenyans to unite ahead of the next election, expressing confidence that the nation would move towards greater political cohesion.
