Kalonzo rules out joining Ruto government, brands it ‘government of predators’
Musyoka has rejected speculation that he could join President William Ruto’s government, branding it a “government of predators” and insisting that the two should face each other at the ballot box in 2027.
Nairobi, Kenya - Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has firmly denied rumors that he is being approached to join President William Ruto's administration, asserting that he would rather contest against the Head of State in the 2027 General Election than align himself with what he described as a "government of predators." Musyoka dismissed the notion, stating that he is not interested in joining any administration that he claims is responsible for the mismanagement of public resources, the worsening of poverty, and the harm inflicted on Kenyans.
He vehemently denied any intention of aligning with Ruto's administration, accusing it of depriving the nation of its wealth and resources. Musyoka challenged the current government to return the stolen assets and resources to the Kenyan people, likening the administration to a predator that consumes others, threatening to face Ruto in the upcoming election if he were to join their ranks.
He further criticized the administration for failing to address the escalating poverty crisis, with over 14 million Kenyans now living in extreme poverty. Musyoka reiterated his stance against any political negotiations with Ruto, insisting that their political rivalry should be resolved through an election. The Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, also weighed in on the matter, criticizing the disruptive behavior of Wiper supporters during the launch of the Linda Mwananchi Movement and warning of potential political intolerance and violence as the country approaches the next General Election.
