Nyoro Calls Out Ruto Over Insults Against Uhuru, Gachagua
Speaking during an ordination ceremony for pastors at the Born Again Evangelism Church in Ruai, Nyoro has called on President Ruto to accord retired President Uhuru Kenyatta the respect he deserves, accusing him of disrespecting his predecessor even when he served as his Deputy President.
Kenya's People's Party leader Ndindi Nyoro has urged President William Ruto to be more cautious with his public statements, emphasizing that the presidency requires dignity and decorum. Nyoro specifically addressed the issue of insults directed at former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. He accused Ruto of disrespecting Kenyatta even during his time as Deputy President under Ruto.
Nyoro believes this behavior worsened after Ruto became President and urged him to respect Kenyatta, just as he would like to be treated once his tenure ends in 2027. Additionally, Nyoro stood up for Gachagua, requesting Ruto to refrain from insulting him and allowing him to continue his political activities without abusive language.
Nyoro also cautioned Ruto against attacking young leaders, stating that disagreements should not escalate into insults. In the upcoming 2027 presidential race, Nyoro called on Kenyans to actively participate in selecting the opposition candidate, urging voters to consider leaders' qualities, past performance, and past office achievements.
Nyoro maintained that Kenyans have already decided on the need for leadership change and assured them that the opposition will unite behind a single presidential candidate to challenge Ruto.
