Allies of President William Ruto have on Saturday called on Mt. Kenya to ignore former Deputy President ahead of his party launch.
Led by National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, the leaders noted that the former DP was tryong to withdraw them from Kenya Kwanza government and that they should remain focused not to lose by being outside government.

“For us, we want to focus on the agenda that we promised the people of Kenya — the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. There are others who want us to engage in the politics of hatred and division. We want to tell them: we have no time,” said Ichung’wa.
“Sisi twamshukuru Rais sana, na sana sana kwa sababu tumeona kwa mara ya kwanza bajeti ambayo imependekezwa haiongezi ushuru, ila inajaribu kuziba mashimo tulikuwa tunapotezea ushuru — na hiyo tunamshukuru sana,” said Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga
Also speaking at the same event was Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi who called on Mt. Kenya residents to demand development from their leaders and the bigger share from the President.
“Mtu asikudanganye. Wewe umepiga kura juzi, umepanga laini, alafu mtu anakwambia saa hii twende tuanze siasa ya 2027 — utakaa mjinga sana. Saa hii ni wakati ya kuita unaambia, “tunataka hii,” unaambia wabunge “tuletee hii,” unaambia mwingine “tuletee hii,” unaambia mwingine “utupange hapo.” William Ruto akikuja, utuongezee soko, tuongezee hii barabara,” he said
