President William Ruto has intensified his attacks on retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing him of sponsoring Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and the Opposition while challenging him to provide adequate financial support to the politicians instead of leaving them to raise money from ordinary Kenyans.
Ruto, who was addressing residents of Bukembe in Bungoma after presiding over the 98th Kenya Music Festival State Concert, claimed Sifuna and other Opposition leaders lacked a clear political agenda and were relying on anti-government rhetoric to mobilise support ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The President alleged that Uhuru, whom he described as a billionaire, was funding Sifuna and other young politicians but was not giving them enough money to sustain their political activities.
“Former President Uhuru is a billionaire. He should give the youths he is sponsoring enough money so they stop collecting fuel money from Kenyans. Anahangaisha hawa vijana na hawapati pesa ya kutosha,” Ruto said.
