A fresh political storm appears to be gathering ahead of the 2027 General Election after Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka delivered a sharp message directed at President William Ruto, raising questions about how the political battle could unfold in the coming months. Read Full Article Here
Onyonka accused the President of talking too much while urging him to concentrate on his responsibilities as Head of State.
His remarks come at a time when political temperatures are rising as leaders position themselves ahead of the next election.
“The problem we have with you, Mr. President, is that you talk too much,” Onyonka said, according to the statement shared online.
He further challenged Ruto to focus on governing the country instead of making statements that he argued could provoke political reactions.
“Just do your thing as the Head of State,” Onyonka added.
The senator also appeared to address Ruto’s criticism of opposition figures and supporters, warning that attacking political opponents would not necessarily change their electoral choices.
“Stop insulting people because some of us do not think that insulting us will make us stop voting for Matiang’i,” he stated.
The remarks are likely to attract attention because former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i remains one of the names frequently mentioned in discussions about the opposition’s possible 2027 strategy.
With alliances continuing to shift and politicians increasingly exchanging pointed messages, Onyonka’s latest statement adds another layer to the growing political contest.
The senator’s comments could further fuel debate over Ruto’s approach to his opponents, particularly as the country moves closer to the 2027 election and rival political camps intensify their campaigns.
