Former Central Bank of Kenya Governor and former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u has accused President William Ruto of weakening Kenya's public institutions by concentrating excessive power in the Presidency.
Speaking at a development cooperation conference in Sweden, where he attended as a professor at the University of Nairobi, Ndung'u argued that many State institutions no longer operate independently because officials fear challenging the President.
"Right now, the current president overruns all the institutions, and that's why everybody in those institutions has to conform out of fear. But I refused to do deals in the Ministry of Finance. I can't do deals. It follows you to your grave. It doesn't go away with a regime."
